ORE KEEPS IT ORDERLY

The Strictly winner may look relaxed on the dance floor, but he's a school run drill sergeant
ORE KEEPS IT ORDERLY

He won Strictly Come Dancing, has mastered musical theatre and hosts prime time shows for the BBC. But while Ore Oduba is a dab hand at entertaining audiences, he struggles to get ready for the school run.

Ore, 37, best known for hosting Newsround, BBC Breakfast and The One Show, has two children - Roman, five, and 18-month-old Genie - with his wife Portia.

He says his tendency to obsess over the details makes mornings extra difficult and wonders if he has "OCD" when it comes to his son's uniform.

"You're out of that routine for about a quarter of the year, but somehow going back to the thing you do every day is impossible," he tells new. "I do have obsessive behaviours - you could call it OCD, that's an easy label to put to it - but I'm meticulous with these things and that doesn't take away the worry and the trouble you go through.

"I just have to make sure that every system is in place, which is quite taxing on the brain. Everything has to have an order and I always go through it on a day-to-day basis, making sure things are exactly where they are so that when it comes to, 'OK, we need to be out of the door by eight o'clock,' it's not so much of a gear change or culture shock when school returns."

Ore, who recently worked with Sainsbury's Tu on their Back To School Morning Challenge campaign, says he is "a bit of a drill sergeant" when it comes to Roman's morning routine, although he has no trouble waking him up in the morning.
