Christine McGuinness: 40 White T-Shirts

Dilly Carter is joined by Christine McGuinness, who brings three seemingly simple items – but as Dilly unpacks them, each reveals a deeper story.A white T-shirt uncovers her collection of 40 and the comfort she finds in them following her autism diagnosis, offering a sense of certainty on overwhelming days. Her wedding rings, removed after her divorce from Paddy McGuinness, open up a candid conversation about change, family life and still living together. And a bag for life becomes a touching link to her childhood and sense of home – the one thing she admits she can’t stop collecting, despite being otherwise impeccably organised!Information and support for some of the issues covered in our programmes can be found at bbc.co.uk/actionlineSort Your Life Out Unpacked is a new podcast 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.Presented by Dilly Carter Editing: Katie Baxter and Sebastien Rabas Line Producer: Philippa Pettett Production Co-ordinator: Berniee Ekomisa Assistant Producer: Emily D'Souza Executive Producer for Optomen: Charlotte Brookes Assistant Commissioner: Chris Bartlett Commissioning Editors: Rhian Roberts and Beejal-Maya Patel Produced by Holly Newson Hair & Make Up: Sarah Burrows Art Director: River Gibbs Production Runner: Molly MorganAn Optomen production for iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
