Trinny Woodall first hit our screens back in the early 2000s as a makeover expert in hit TV show What Not To Wear. And while she’s still “very good friends” with her former co-host Susannah Constantine, Trinny admits there are some elements of the show she’d never do again.
“We would say ‘we want to put a secret camera in your bedroom’ to the husband who'd nominated his wife for the show and we’d have it [the camera] where she would get changed. So the editors would go through reams of footage to find what we wanted. It’s like, oh, never would you do that today!”
But that’s not the only secret the media personality, author and founder of beauty empire Trinny London spilt during our ‘in bed with’ interview. During her recent trip to Australia, she revealed the reason she loves hanging out with Aussie women.
“I love women who graft. I think as a nationality, there’s a work ethic in Australia that’s really strong.”
From her must-have skincare products to her most unsexy beauty hack, plus the surprising thing you’d find in her bathroom, here Trinny reveals all.
WHAT’S THE WEIRDEST THING WE’D FIND IN YOUR BATHROOM?
“It’s called a Theragun. When I travel, I need to do some exercise without doing exercise. It’s a massage gun, but I just put it everywhere and it’s fantastic. So it’s for areas of your body where you most feel the need of a release.”
