Victoria admits they do find packing hard, setting aside two full days to do it. However she said they’ve learned a few tricks.
“Instead of folding your clothes in a suitcase, you actually lay them out flat, and you get more room,” she tells 9Travel.

However, with them travelling so much for the show, Victoria admits by the end they often just “throw it in.”
“Certainly by the end of the trip our bag doesn’t look like how it arrived,” Cathy says.
