Liverpool’s "doll whisperer" is set to appear on our screens as he hopes to find love.
Peter Gill, a fashion designer originally from Hunts Cross and the owner of Scouse Dolls, is partaking in ITV’s Dress to Impress. The dating game show sees three fashion-savvy competitors take part in a “shopping showdown” to win a blind date with a “style-conscious singleton”. Whichever shopper chooses the outfit the person looking for love likes the most wins a date with them.
In an upcoming episode, viewers will watch the 31-year-old be one of those shoppers and have "help" throughout the experience from his dolls, which he uses as part of his business. Peter’s idea of creating a company around the use of Barbie-like figures came about in lockdown when he couldn’t clothe real-life models because of COVID restrictions. Now, he uses his dolls to create artwork and bespoke designs for weddings and hen parties, crafting small dolls to look like their party hosts.
