Tyler West: 40 Torches and a Handball
5/12/202629 min
On this episode, Dilly Carter is joined by broadcaster and presenter Tyler West. He opens up about living with his partner, fellow Strictly and Race Across the World star Molly Rainford, the quirky routines that keep their household ticking, and the iconic way he takes the bins out.
Tyler brings three items from home for Dilly to unpack – a portal into his Team GB sporting career, a beautiful gift from his mum which takes pride of place at home with Molly and the real key to his heart (his torches).
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.
