Kat and Jen head to London to talk to childhood burns survivor Sylvia Mac. The 'Love Disfigure' campaigner strips off to talk about the trauma that caused third and fourth degree burns across her back and stomach when she was just a toddler. The 52-year-old chats about the physical and mental toll that scarring and surgery has taken on her and how a life changing holiday made her finally love the skin she’s in. Sylvia reveals how her scars have led her into toxic relationships, how the trauma caused bed-wetting and why she now sweats in intimate places. Having transformed her outlook to spread a message of body positivity she’s now helping others with burns and disfigurements to embrace acceptance. In the first of their adventures in the capital Jen and Kat prepare to bunker down together but Jen’s got a few perspiration problems. Kat on the other hand is celebrating after relocating her lost libido-o-oh!
