Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm Dilly Carter, the organized one, and this is Sort Your Life Out Unpacked. Get ready to unpack three boxes with my celebrity guest. Every box has an item from their own home, plus a load of stories and memories. And stand by for my tips on how to sort your own life out too. My guest this episode has both danced on Strictly and more recently has braved the jungle.
He's also been making us laugh for over 20 years. He's a proud dad and rightfully proud of his Congolese heritage. Welcome to the brilliant comedian, Eddie Caddy. Oh, thank you, Deli.
I appreciate you.
Chapter 2: What items does Eddie Kadi bring to unpack?
It's so lovely to have you here.
No, thanks for having me.
I feel like looking at you, I can't help but smile. You've got the most infectious aura and energy about you. You can't help just look at you and think, oh my gosh, I'm happy immediately.
I really appreciate that. That means the most to me, to be fair. I'm just like grateful. I am. I'm genuinely grateful about life.
And this podcast is obviously all about the items that we own. But being in the jungle, you were stripped of everything.
Every single thing. It's like, my mobile phone, I need to call my friends or go in the group chat. Oh, no, that's not there. Oh, like, you know, I might just want to, I don't know, listen to some music. Well, that's not there. Everything that you're used to, you have to find a new way. And finding a new way was just finding a new you. And that's what I really appreciate about being in the jungle.
And do you think that's probably why you form such close relationships with the people? Because you're not surrounded by any items that can bring you comfort. And all you have is each other.

Chapter 3: How does turning 40 impact Eddie Kadi's perspective?
I'll tell you what I learned from that is we need to do more of that. We're supposed to do more of that. And you don't have to know someone from before to connect with them. In the jungle, there's people that you see on the telly. Some of them, you know, older, some younger. You have a five-minute convo and you go, this person is a lot more like me than I thought.
You know, I didn't think I'd have anything in common with Ruby Wax, my God. To be fair, the first few minutes, Ruby was like, yeah, I live in Notting Hill and I want to go to Nanny Hill Carnival. And I just started dancing and Ruby backed herself up and I said, this, nobody will ever believe this, even if they saw it. Ruby Wax is catching a wine.
Yeah, backing up on you.
Backing up on me.
Oh my God.
It was, you know, those conversations I had with her and Martin and, you know, young age, all these guys, you know, beautiful.
But what is lovely is, like you just said, those human connections, they were only possible because you weren't surrounded by stuff.
Yeah. You know, you don't need much.
Exactly. We surround ourselves by stuff.

Chapter 4: What meaningful moment did Eddie experience in the jungle?
I mean, the remote will be there. Maybe sometimes a little popcorn. Do you love my cashews?
If I turned up unannounced, what room would you ban me from entering?
First of all, if you turn up unannounced, you're not coming in. Let's just be very clear, Dilly. Oh, thank you. You're not coming in. I'm treating you like your TV licence, man. Jehovah's Witness.
TV licence, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you do make it through, you'll be like, oh, Dilly, you've done it again. I'll probably ban you from the living room. I just feel like when people get in the living room, they get excited. You probably take the remote. I want to watch the football highlights for now. Please don't start suggesting, oh, there's this new podcast out. Oh, did you see that thing? No.
Just chill, Dilly. Just be in that corner for now, please.
Is there a corner chair?
There is.
There is. What's on the chair? Why are you laughing?

Chapter 5: What does Eddie Kadi's trophy symbolize for him?
That's really important. And it was really touching. Yeah. And I'm the eldest in my family and it felt really, really nice. And it's just like, but also just a reflection of how far I've come, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Four decades. Yeah. Thank God.
Actually, we have got a voice note from your sister.
Yeah.
Which I'd love to play you.
Charlene. Yeah.
For me, Eddie turning 40 was a very special milestone, not just for him, but for us as a family. We're a very close family, very close-knit. We really wanted to celebrate it with him, even though he didn't want any fuss. So in the end, we made sure to have an intimate celebration, which we organised as a surprise. It was just lovely to see how happy he was that day.
And I felt so proud of everything he'd achieved because he's worked so incredibly hard. So that was 40 and we're looking forward to 45 and 50 and more celebrations and wins.
I'm just looking forward to my sweet knees.
That's so sweet. That's so lovely.

Chapter 6: How does Eddie Kadi's heritage influence his identity?
You know, his emotions.
Like you and your family.
Absolutely. Absolutely. So like, yeah, he's an incredible man.
I mean, like comedy, football brings people together.
Yes, it does. Everybody. Football is one of those things where even if you don't like it, you are connected to a person that really loves it.
I agree.
And then you kind of think, I want to cheer them up. You know, get them tickets to a football game. Or just watching them, just be happy watching a football game is incredible. You know?
Other than the book, do you have any other football memorabilia?
I do. Lots of scars. Lots of scars. Do you know what's funny? I went to a United versus Ipswich Town game. So a friend of mine was really close to Ed Sheeran. And of course, Ed Sheeran is one of the, I'm not sure if he's the owner or chairman, but he's definitely a big part of Ipswich Town. But he invited us to his box and it was nice. And, you know, we had the scarves and that.
