Matthew Wright sparked a huge debate on This Morning on Tuesday as he revealed he only showers once per week sometimes.The TV presenter, 57, made the shock confession as he and hosts Phillip Schofield, 60, and Holly Willoughby, 42, discussed a recent study concerning Brits' showering habits.The study revealed that nearly a third of people have changed their showering habits in a bid to save money on their household bills.
Matthew then admitted his own showering schedule has changed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and told a shocked Phillip that he only showers once a week, or whenever he has human contact or is due to appear on TV.
Matthew shared: "I know that since Covid really, once we were stuck at home, the daily shower went out the window and I hold my hand up, it hasn't really come back. "I shower for you obviously and then I don't really shower again until I have to see you - or when I next have human contact." Phillip then exclaimed: "That's a week!" before going on to add more details about the survey. "Thirty percent of people are changing their showering habits, 27 per cent are worried about how their hygiene routine is affecting their bills, and a third of those cutting back are turning their water off when it's not needed," he said.
Holly added: "Apparently we do shower too much. I get that. Apparently, the natural oils in your skin, by shampooing your hair and using soap, you're destroying that barrier." The debate comes after Holly shared a rare update about her children on This Morning on Monday, as she revealed her eldest child Harry is volunteering as part of his Duke of Edinburgh award.
