I mean, we've all been just so fascinated about the time of day that you wake up. It's disgusting. Do you get dressed to go on the radio? Yeah, because it's basically telly now. It's cameras everywhere, like being in Big Brother, they're all set up and everything you say could

be clipped up for socials so yeah i do think there's an extra layer of being a girl having to do your

hair your makeup at like 4 am gross and it is gross and so when it comes to makeup and stuff i literally

want the simplest quickest option because i'm really i'm quite lazy person in terms of like, I need something that does

my hair dead quick, makeup, like, really, like, I'm talking 10 minutes for makeup, tops. And then clothing wise, like I do, I try and make sure that, like, my top's quite nice, but then it could be the same jeans all week. Yeah. Because I'm just going to be shot from there most of the time. Do you pre-plan what you were? sometimes if I'm being organised

but luckily I've done like a proper sort of my wardrobe

so I know that like top Because I'm just going to be shot from there most of the time. Do you pre-plan what you were? Sometimes if I'm being organised.

But luckily, I've done like a proper sort of my wardrobe.

So I know that tops are there, bottoms in there, I just grab.

Easy. Yeah. Nice. That's similar. Do you pre-plan what you were when you come to the office? Do you know, I lie. the way I go to sleep at night is thinking about what I might wear the next day.

So like the last thing I do before I go to bed is check the weather for the next day.

Want to talk about that in a minute.

Nice segue.
