Former footballer and Strictly star Alex Scott shares some of her favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS…
The Gurls Talk. I love all the different people Adwoa [Aboah] talks to; they’re both real and fascinating.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS… A tealight. I adore them. I have loads of little crystal holders around the house for them and they’re meant to give off good energy.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS… A dark red MAC lipstick; red is my colour.
MY FAVOURITE SHOP IS… ME+EM. I always find clothes I love in there.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS… Crisps! I’ll happily eat any flavour, but my favourites are Eat Real Lentil Chips.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS… Sweet Things in Primrose Hill. It’s a really cute independent coffee shop.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD… Smashed avocado and scrambled eggs. Does that count?
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS FROM… Kurt Geiger.
MY SIGNATURE SCENT IS… Any Narciso Rodriguez fragrance.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS… Black. It is my go-to colour, simply because it’s a shade that allows me to wear anything.
THE BOOK ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS… Becoming, Michelle Obama’s autobiography. I am halfway through it. She’s a truly inspiring woman.
THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS… Rupaul’s Drag Race. I’m currently watching every series again from the beginning, as Michelle [Visage] is my new bestie!
MY FAVOURITE HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AWAY IS…
I love Jason Vale’s Juicy Oasis Boutique Health Retreat & Spa in Portugal. I go for three-day breaks, completely switch off and fill myself up with goodness.
THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER GROW TIRED OF IS… The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.
MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER WAS… To Cambodia and Vietnam. I once went travelling to both places on my own – beautiful and amazing.
THE THING I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME IS… Candles.
WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL… My friend Ruby. Her real name is actually Jo Curry but, because I’m a Cockney East End girl, I call her Ruby.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS… Any song by Beyoncé.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS… Anything Pan-asian.
THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS… Treat others how you’d like to be treated.
