Dilly Carter Biography – Dilly Carter Wiki
Dilly Carter is a professional organiser, author and TV Presenter on BBC One’s Sort Your Life Out alongside Stacey Solomon. She is the founder of Declutter Dollies, an organising and home styling service. She has zhuzhed the homes of A-List actors, authors and fitness influencers.
Dilly got the bug for organising at a young age. She learned the value of decluttering when she began helping her mother, who suffers from bipolar disorder, organise her ‘living-chaos’ at home.
As a teenager, Dilly worked in a designer clothing store, folding clothes to curating and presenting rails of seasonal trends. This developed into a love of styling and personal shopping where she gained a huge understanding of every changing styles and how to curate a capsule yet functional wardrobe. She then went on to become a personal assistant in HNW homes organising everything from kitchens to a family’s diary.
Dilly is now on our screens as 1/4 of the hit BBC One show Sort Your Life Out, a programme that helps people who have become overwhelmed by family life to take back some control at home.
She is also the author of two books – Change Your Space and Create Space – with a fresh take on the link between mental wellbeing and decluttering.

“But there is only one thing that stands out more than anything we have seen, done bought or own. Our biggest achievement of all time, the most gorgeous girl inside and out, coolest, sassiest, kindest, most loving child we have somehow managed to raise between us and avtually our immediate family.
“Our entire world and more….Nelly- Reet.
“Nothing brings us more happiness, more joy. And while I leave her for 8 days, while she goes from one school mum to a neighbour to an aunty while we try to manage 6am drop offs, picks up and overnight stays she remains happy, calm, and always leaves home with a smile and comes back with one.
“They say the most expensive jewels you will ever wear around your neck are those of your child’s arms. It couldn’t be truer. The best part of our ten years, and forever more,” alongside a photo of their daughter.
