Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Disco, Dolls and The Dancefloor
Sophie-Ellis Bextor joins Dilly to talk about her love for all things colour, chaos and clutter.
In this episode of Sort Your Life Out Unpacked, Dilly Carter is joined by Kitchen Disco diva and interior maximalist, Sophie Ellis-Bextor. She opens up about finding joy amongst chaos – her home is unashamedly filled with trinkets, curated clutter and she even encourages her children to draw on the wall.
Sophie brings in three items from home for Dilly to unpack. They find out why Sophie identifies with a Blythe doll, delve into a baby photo which was so much more than just a picture, and discover the slogan from Sophie’s band in the 1990s that means something very different to her today.
From a singing career that started when she was 16 to a new-found Gen Z fanbase thanks to Saltburn, and five children along the way, Sophie reflects on how she’s learnt to embrace life’s chaotic journey without sacrificing her values.
Dilly is impressed by Sophie’s second-hand-buying ways, but can Dilly convince Sophie to delete any of those resale apps off her phone?
