The Project hosts get into a heated debate about the best time to have a shower
When is the best time of day to shower? TV presenters get into a heated discussion about the basic daily ritual
The Project’s hosts got into a heated debate Wednesday night over whether people should take their daily showers in the morning or at night.
Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris, Sam Taunton and Maria Thattil were divided over a recent report that people should shower at night.
Veteran presenter Waleed Aly, 44, disagreed with the findings, saying morning showers were the only way to go.
“I don’t understand this theory. They say to do it at night so you can get rid of all the dirt from the day, but if you wait until morning you clean night and day,” he said.
Co-host Sarah Harris, 41, hit back at Waleed’s claim, saying he sounded like her young sons when they made excuses to get out of the bath.

Meanwhile, guest host Maria Thattil, 30, said it shouldn’t be one or the other and to be truly clean, people need to shower both morning and night.
‘I am a morning and evening person. I sweat at night and I don’t carry that into the new day and I also want to wash off before starting the day,” she said.
Taunton stepped in to say it was his policy to shower after working out, joking, “I better start working out.”

Earlier this week, Waleed set the record straight for why he refuses to use social media.
The veteran TV presenter appeared on The Matty Johns Podcast on Sunday and said he has “major problems” with social media and will never use it.
‘It’s a disaster. I’ve never done it and I’m not interested in it. I think it’s one of the worst things people have invented in the last 50 years,” he told Johns.
“I don’t understand this theory. They say to do it at night so you can get rid of all the dirt from the day, but if you wait until morning you’ll clean the night and day,” he told his co-hosts.
Aly said he believed there were no “meaningful” conversations on platforms like Instagram and Twitter because users posted in a “performative” way.
“Meaningful speech is where minds and ideas meet and argue. But social media converts all that kind of interaction into performance.
“And when you’re performing, you’re in a very different mode than when you’re discussing,” he added.
He said he will always prefer face-to-face discussions over Twitter debates, where the desire to get likes and retweets makes people “put on a show.”
