Annoushka Ducas:
So today I'm in leafy west London, where I'm about to meet singer, Sophie
Ellis-Bextor. I'm about to go and have a peek in her house and see the famous kitchen where she
entertained us all during lockdown with her wonderful kitchen discos on Instagram.
Sophie Ellis Bextor:
Maybe it all made sense that we provided that space. We did just want to
bring
a bit of delight. It was just about joy. It wasn't anything else. It was quite a pure exchange in
that
way. It was amazing. I don't know what kind of a year I would've had without it.
Annoushka Ducas:
I'm Annoushka Ducas and welcome back to
My Life in Seven Charms. For me, the
are
so few things which can evoke a memory like a tiny detail
charm. In this new series, I'll be meeting
seven extraordinary women and hearing their stories through this very special 18-karat gold
biography.
This week's guest on
My Life in Seven Charms began her career as an occasional, very tiny guest on
Blue
Peter.
Annoushka Ducas:
By her early twenties, she was already a successful pop singer with a string
of
hits. Since then, she's been a Strictly finalist and one of the muff singers. And in between, she's
a
mother of five gorgeous boys. She danced into all our homes with her sparkling kitchen disco during
lockdown and has now turned it into a bestselling album.
