, who is but lives with him and their , admits that she has too many tees but cannot stop herself from buying them.
She told a podcast: “I struggle to make decisions, with clothes in particular, what to wear or what fabric I can tolerate that day, because I do have quite sensitive skin.”
added: “A plain white T-shirt is my go-to safe place.
“If I’m having a day where I’m really, really overthinking what I look like or what I’m wearing, a plain white T-shirt always makes me feel fresh and clean.
“It’s comfortable, kind of matches everything. I’ve got 40. It’s something that I’ll probably keep doing . . . buying white T-shirts.
“I’ve definitely got far too many. I just don’t really know how to declutter.”
also says she cannot decide what clothes to buy and keeps looking even when she has found something she likes.
She told tidying expert Dilly Carter’s Sort Your Life Out Unpacked podcast: “I was talking to my mum about this and she said, ‘I’d take you to ten different shops and we’d end up back in the first one getting the first outfit’.
“In my mind it’s like I have to look at everything. I have to try on every outfit, see how it all feels.
“But I’ll spend so much time doing it when really if I just clear my mind, take a minute and go ‘OK, I’m wasting time there — let’s just put a white T-shirt on’. And then I can carry on with my day.”
