Fatiha El-Ghorri: The Giraffe and the Spatula

Dilly Carter is joined by comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri, who brings her trademark honesty, chaos and humour – not least when she is horrified to learn that you should actually be hoovering your mattress.

Fatiha hands Dilly three items from home for her to unpack – a broken spatula that she refuses to throw away, a coin purse that she inherited from her grandmother, and a gift from her niece.

Fatiha opens about life after cancer treatment and how seriously she takes her role as an auntie. Plus, why she’ll never leave the house without ‘poo spray’!

Fatiha thinks that Dilly should be knighted for services in organisation – but can Dilly convince her to start using a spatula that isn’t broken?

Sort Your Life Out Unpacked is 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.
