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 soundtracked our lives for over 25 years.
She's brought us all a huge ton of joy during lockdowns with her sparkly kitchen discos and continues to do so with her latest album, Perimenopop. Her track, Murder on the Dance Floor, which she lent to that iconic scene in Saltburn, has earned her a lot of lovely Gen Z fans as well. It's the forever fabulous Sophie Ellis Baxter. Welcome. I'm the forever fabulous. Forever fabulous.
One of my favourite pop stars of all time. I mean, I feel so honoured to be sat next to you. So lovely for you to give up your time. Thank you so much. So if people are imagining your kitchen as the sparkly version that we saw in lockdown, is it still the case?
Yeah. And actually, it was the case before lockdown as well. All the stuff that we shared through the kitchen discos.
Yeah.

Chapter 2: What themes does Sophie Ellis-Bextor explore in her home decor?
And we would live stream on my Instagram on a Friday night. We didn't actually tweak anything to make it look how it did because we always liked music. And also, yes, we spent a lot of time in there cooking, but it's also where we hang out and, yeah, put music on and de-stress as well. Like a lot of people, I think.
Exactly. It's the hub of the house, isn't it? It really is, yeah. And you've got a very busy house.
I do. You have five boys. I have five kids. Yeah. So four of them still at home. Yeah. My youngest has just turned seven. I've got a couple of teenagers as well, which always feels like the wheel has turned. You know, I'm in like this different chapter, really.
Do you find it very strange when no one is in the house?
Well, that is very unusual and quite luxurious. And what I've been doing at the moment, if something like that happens, is I've actually been sorting my house out. Very good to hear. Very good to hear.
Music to my ears.
It's an ongoing process. I will never actually complete house, I've realised. I don't think it works like that.
It absolutely is. It needs constant maintenance. Yes. I cannot wait to see what you brought in. I'm very excited. But first, I'm going to ask you a few quickfire home truths. Okay. How would you describe your home in a sentence?
It's a joyful, chaotic celebration of domesticity and disco.

Chapter 3: Why does Sophie identify with a Blythe doll?
Wow. Which she has right now.
I'll show you her party trick in a minute. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to pass her to you. She's older than me. Whenever I describe her to people who haven't seen one of these before, I say she's got a sort of Cindy Barbie body. Yeah, Cindy Barbie body. And then a head the size of an orange. Yeah. She's got a really massive head. I wasn't saying she looked like you because you've got a massive head.
I didn't take any offence. I didn't even blink, don't worry. She's got your beautiful big blue eyes. Well, right now, but then if I pull the string, this is her orange. Wow. Sorry, it's freaky. Suddenly the blind dog looks a bit scary. Don't worry, I'll go back to something nice, green. Oh, see, she looks lovely with her green eyes. And you can hear the little... Click, click.
She's terrifying with those other eyes. I know, and I'm sorry about that. But for me, there's a couple of things about her I really like. I feel I can resonate with wanting to fit in, but just being that little bit peculiar on the outside of things. But also, she is the reason I made an eBay account all the way back in the late 90s. So when I think eBay must have only been one or two years old.
Yeah. And eBay has been a love affair that has lasted a long time for me. It was your slippery slope. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, she's like a gateway to, well, I suppose facilitating an addiction. She's the beginning of your shopping addiction.
She really is.
Your love of eBay. Yeah, so... How many do you think you've got? I actually don't know. There must be... Where do they live? I'm thinking 30. All over the place. 30. And I know some of them must scare the children and I just haven't stopped.
Especially if they're just sat randomly around.
Yeah, and I enjoy how odd they are.
