Eddie Kadi: The Football Icon
4/28/202628 min
In this episode, Dilly Carter is joined by comedian and I’m a Celeb star Eddie Kadi.
Eddie brings three treasured items from home for Dilly to unpack – literally and figuratively. From them, we discover who Eddie most wants to make proud, what turning 40 meant to him and his family, and which collection of items he hopes his children will take on Antiques Road show (and why Dilly disagrees!).
You’ll also find out… how an event that Eddie almost didn’t attend led to a hugely meaningful moment, why having nothing in the jungle was so special to him, and where – very specifically – he would ban Dilly from in his house.
His love of football has led Eddie to have some very special memorabilia – but can Dilly convince him that they deserve better than where they’re currently stored?!
Sort Your Life Out Unpacked is the podcast hosted by tidying expert Dilly Carter. In each episode, Dilly chats to a celebrity guest and unboxes three mystery objects from their home that reveal what is really important to them. At the end, Dilly asks her guest whether they are going to keep, donate or recycle any of the items and, along the way, we learn how to organise and sort our own lives out.

This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. Geico presents a 30-second podcast between your podcast. Today's story is shared by one of our listeners. It's called Betrayed by Bill. It was in that moment I caught who was staring back at me in betrayal, or more like, what? My insurance bill. With trembling hands, I grabbed my phone and switched to Geico, saving about $900 in the process, and never to be betrayed again. [laughs] Now, that was bloody riveting.

It feels good when the story ends with savings. It feels good to Geico.
