Celebrity traveller

Charlie Brooks

A beautifully scented candle from Tulum in Mexico. I am not a souvenir person but I like to buy candles from different countries. I now ask my friends to bring one back if they are away.

BEST HOLIDAY READ?

How To Stop Time by Matt Haig on my last ski holiday to Chamonix in February half term.

I am a massive reader and I also loved A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR TIME ON HOLIDAY?

My daughter is 13, so she likes to read and chill out by listening to music. I like a couple of days sunbathing and taking it easy but then I need to explore and get out and about.

I love to swim, snorkel and ski. When I can I will go for a city break with friends to somewhere like Barcelona.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO REVISIT?

The Ardèche in the South of France. We were there five years ago, staying in a tepee and kayaking on the river.

Kiki and I travelled around Europe during the summer. I’d love to go back and explore further.

WHERE NEXT?

I’m on tour until July but after that I’ll probably go and visit my friend Ricky Owen in his chateau in the south of France and go to Ibiza. I’d also love to go to Greece again.
