Television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has said women secretly enjoy mundane tasks such as washing and ironing as she revealed she finds them “therapeutic”.
Location, Location, Location star Allsopp, 42, said: “I’m absolutely convinced that those repetitive tasks that one does every day, organising and regularising one’s home, and keeping it tidy, are enormously therapeutic.
“I know it is for me, and I have many, many working mum friends who feel the same. That to know that their child is going to school with clean hair, clean teeth, clean uniforms, and their house is clean is what keeps her sane.”
Mother-of-two Allsopp, who also has two stepchildren with her partner, property developer Ben Andersen, said: “I’m not doing the ironing because I have to, but if I get a chance, I find it immensely therapeutic.”
She told the Western Daily Press she tried to do the school run at least twice a week to try to stay in touch with her children’s school.
