Charlotte Church caught viewers' attention as she appeared on the latest episode of This Morning. The Welsh singer-songwriter appeared on the ITV daytime show on Thursday (October 6) to chat about her latest project with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
She shared how she plans to make her Welsh wellness retreat "as accessible as possible" amid the cost-of-living crisis. Charlotte, who rose to fame as an operatic singer at the age of 11 before later finding success as a pop star, has transformed a derelict Welsh country house, Rhydoldog, into a nature-orientated business venture called The Dreaming.
Speaking on This Morning, the self-professed "ecowarrior" revealed her hopes to make the retreat open to people from all backgrounds as she plans to develop "pay what you can" and "pay it forward" schemes. She told Holly, 41, and Phillip, 60, and The Dreaming Retreat’s rooms are "all at different price points so people can access it."
The 36-year-old added: "One thing that was really important to me was to make it as accessible as I could. There will be a pay what you can space on all the retreats that we do.”
Charlotte went on: "I really want to set up a pay it forward scheme, I really want to work with different charitable partners, so over this next six months to a year I’m really going to see what our options are to make this as accessible as possible and as useful as possible."
The renovation process is also being followed on TV show Charlotte Church’s Dream Build, which airs on Really. Church bought the property two years ago and has been engaged in the renovation project ever since, with the first series of the show airing last year and the second series having started on Wednesday evening (October 5).
During the interview, Phillip said: "This was never going to be your plan was it? It was gonna be a big field with glamping..." To which Charlotte replied: "Yeah, I think originally, I was just looking for a big field to start some sort of business that was more in line with my values basically, where I could just be outside but I saw Rhydoldog and I saw the land, and I just immediately fell in love. Like obsessive, like, total obsession with it.
Holly said to her: "And I can understand it because when you were just talking about it just now, I mean, you can see how passionate about it, but it sounds beautiful. I mean, it's a special place. It's got not just one. It's got two waterfalls."
But viewers at home were more distracted by Charlotte's look. She looked stunning in a plunging long black, bohemian-style dress that featured various cutouts of moons and stars. @TraylorHolmes tweeted: "I love Charlotte Church. I also love her dress #ThisMorning."
@Amelia_mcJ posted: "Charlotte Church's dress omg #ThisMorning," alongside a string of black hearts. @JadeDonnelly11 said: "Not watching @ThisMorning, just scrolling channels, but someone needs to tell me where @charlottechurch got that dress. Like right now. #ThisMorning."
