Judi Love’s body odour tips

Noticing Judi’s props, Ranvir said: “Now most people have a croissant for breakfast, but you appear to have brought a bowl full of sweet potato and some deodorant?”

“For those who are going out into the sun, please wear your deodorant because it’s hard for us, especially when we’re in close proximity with each other,” Judi said.

“And this sweet potato, you can boil it, make it cool and put it under your armpit if you’ve got an odour issue,” she continued.

“What?!” a shocked Ranvir said. “And have those been under your armpits yet or…?” Ed asked.

“No! You have to boil it, mash it, let it cool a little bit, just put it under your armpit and let it draw out the stench!” Judi explained.

She then went on to explain that it’s an “old school method”.

“Can I just say, it’s an education Judi. Everything you say is an education, it’s a joy to have you in,” Ranvir said.
