Charlotte Church "generally stinks"

After Walking The Dog podcaster Emily Dean told her guest she smelt "lovely", Charlotte replied: "Do I? That's surprising. I never smell nice.

"I don't wear any deodorant or anything, so I generally stink. I don't shave anymore. I don't shave anything.

"I stopped shaving probably about 18 months ago, maybe even longer than that, maybe two years.

"And I stopped wearing deodorant....I just started thinking do you know what? Like this underarm area, there's so many receptors there, lymph and all sorts of stuff going on there, I'm just not sure about sticking all of this chemically stuff in these pores, cos your skin is so....you know, it's the largest organ in the body.

"Everything we put on our skin goes into our bloodstream.'

"Each to their own. Do you know what I mean? Crack on and have a lovely time and do whatever feels good - dye it, shave it, whatever - but for me I'm just like, 'Nah!' "

The Crazy Chick hitmaker likes the "contradiction" of looking glamorous while flaunting her "really hairy legs".

She said: "I sort of love it, I love the contradiction of it. So like I love wearing dresses, beautiful dresses, with my really hairy legs and heels and nails. It's so confusing for people."

Charlotte - who has Ruby, 18, and Dexter, 16, with former partner Gavin Henson and Frida, four, with husband Jonathan Powell - likes to wear low-cut dresses and has her "boobs out for the majority of time" because it makes her feel "much sexier" and helps her to understand people.

She said: "I've got my boobs out for the majority of the time, because I think they're a great litmus test...or 'T**mus Test' as my husband says. Cos it really separates out people who are...yeah, it separates out the pervs immediately.

"So you can immediately go, 'Okay, well you're really struggling with looking at my face!'

"But it also separates out those who are like maybe deeply conservative or deeply religious.

"It's not necessarily that that's a bad thing or I need to mark out those people, nothing like that at all, but for me it helps with my discernment to have my cleavage out regular.

"Do you know what, it's so liberating. Also in a way it makes me feel....it's just even more....I feel much sexier."
