PEEK AT THEIR PAD

Mollie, 33, shares her London home with cricketer boyfriend Stuart Broad
Mollie’s bathroom wouldn’t look out of place in a five-star hotel suite with its white tiles and marble floor. It was her first time doing a bathroom makeover, and she says, “Who knew I’d lose sleep over grouting!?”
The carpeted dressing room area has plenty of clever storage space. Mollie says she absolutely loved doing up her flat, even if it meant “spending every night falling asleep scrolling on Pinterest”.
When she’s not trying to work, with the help (or not) of Alfie, Mollie’s a homebird who loves a quiet night in. “It’s all about sitting there with a gin and tonic or a cup of tea and watching a Netflix series,” she says.
Pampered pooch Alfie enjoys the finer things in life as he snuggles up on Mollie’s bed.
The gold knobs on the kitchen cupboards add a touch of class. And is that a coffee machine we see? “My weakness is coffee. I drink way too much,” she confesses.
The desk space has a presidential vibe. “With so much working from home at the moment I’ve tried to make a nice desk area for myself,” says Mollie, who plays guitar in her spare time. The Lexington Arts & Crafts flag cushion adds a homely touch.
Toy poodle Alfie isn’t sure what to make of Mollie’s shoe. We’re admiring the view out of the window in her living room. Looks lush!
The BBC Radio 1 presenter’s Chelford kitchen from Howdens was finished in time for Christmas last year. Mollie wanted “clean lines, but with some character” for her new-build flat. She chose dove grey units “paired up with a quartz top” and added the Art Deco lantern style lights and vintage wood and metal bar stools.
Stuart might ask Mollie for style advice, but he will never let her cut his hair again, apparently. “i tried to give him a slight trim with the clippers and i accidentally gave him a zero on his sideburns!” she reveals.
Cricket ace Stuart, who has a home in nottingham, gets busy in the kitchen. “i’m not a good cook,” admits Mollie. “i’ll throw in a stir-fry where all i have to do is heat up some veg and noodles and pre-cooked prawns.”
