Presenter Sophie Morgan shares her home truths and the bad habit she can't stand

I put some music on. I love music and it compliments the mood. If I had a really stressful day, it helps me unwind and is a great way to distinguish between the outside world and being at home. I have a really wide music taste. What I play varies every time.

I love taking a bath. If I have a bath at night, which I tend to do most evenings, I leave the water in then in the morning, when it's gone cold, I jump in. I love a cold bath. Everyone bangs on about cold water swimming but it’s not that easy to do if you're a wheelchair user. I love cold water but it’s not that practical and I don’t have a pool so I jump in the bath.

The magic hour. In the evening just before the sun sets, The light here in California is really special. It’s a really magical time. I’m in Midtown LA so I don’t live by the sea but I have a palm tree in my garden. As far as I'm concerned, it's paradise!

A bottle of water, an Alexa speaker, a lamp and whatever book I'm reading at the time, At the moment, I’m reading Gloria Steinem’s autobiography called My Life On The Road.

There's a store out here called World Market. That’s kitted out my place in LA. Back in the UK, I loved West Elm. It’s expensive but lovely.

I'm an oil painter so I have big oil paintings or, if I haven't got the originals, I have prints of them. I love putting them up on the wall. I rent, so even though it’s not my space, putting them up makes it feel like mine. They are of figures swimming in the water. I've got a massive one in my kitchen and a couple of others dotted around the house.

My mum always uses a ‘Winter’ by The White Company candle or Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir. Mum lives near Lewis in East Sussex - that's where I grew up. Those smells take me back.

For the people that live with me, I'm really bad with them leaving their shoes on the floor. I will throw people's shoes out the way because it gets in my way as a wheelchair user. I give people three chances, then I throw them out the window because I literally fall out of my chair if I don't see them coming. Shoes are such a speed bump for me.

Changing the sheets. It's so hard to do when you're sitting down. I also hate vacuuming too because it's really hard to push a vacuum cleaner and a wheelchair. I hate them both with a passion. Every time I need to change my sheets, I enlist a friend when they come over.

I'd say I am. I don't cook, so I’m not that kind of host but there's always drink flowing. You'll never see the bottom of a glass. It's always very relaxed and fun. I'm not precious about people staying so you can relax and make yourself at home.

I miss my friends back home in the UK. When I’m away from home, I miss my bed. It’s a big super king Ikea bed and so comfortable, gorgeous.
