Trinny and Susannah: Where are they now?

<p>Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine dominated TV screens around the world in the 2000s, doling out their unique brand of brutally honest fashion advice on <em>What Not to Wear</em>.</p> <p>Together, Trinny and Susannah wrote books, started clothing and underwear lines and toured the world helping women learn how to dress their bodies.</p> <p>But it’s been years since we heard what they were last up to – in the years since <em>What Not to Wear,</em> the duo have released several short series and one-off specials, but have been unable to capture their original success – so we thought it was time to find out where they are now.</p> <p><strong>Trinny Woodall</strong></p> <p>Now 53, Trinny divorced from her husband of 10 years, Johnny Elichaoff (with whom she has one daughter and one stepson) in 2009. Sadly, Elichaoff took his own life in 2014. Since 2014, she has been in a relationship with Nigella Lawson’s ex-husband Charles Saatchi, 74.</p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media"> <div style="padding: 8px;"> <div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"> <div style="background: url(data:image/png; base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacwaaaascamaaaapwqozaaaabgdbtueaalgpc/xhbqaaaafzukdcak7ohokaaaamuexurczmzpf399fx1+bm5mzy9amaaadisurbvdjlvzxbesmgces5/p8/t9furvcrmu73jwlzosgsiizurcjo/ad+eqjjb4hv8bft+idpqocx1wjosbfhh2xssxeiyn3uli/6mnree07uiwjev8ueowds88ly97kqytlijkktuybbruayvh5wohixmpi5we58ek028czwyuqdlkpg1bkb4nnm+veanfhqn1k4+gpt6ugqcvu2h2ovuif/gwufyy8owepdyzsa3avcqpvovvzzz2vtnn2wu8qzvjddeto90gsy9mvlqtgysy231mxry6i2ggqjrty0l8fxcxfcbbhwrsyyaaaaaelftksuqmcc); display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BFPO5ZquRRH/" target="_blank">A post shared by T R I N N Y (@trinnywoodall)</a> on May 10, 2016 at 12:12pm PDT</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>In 2016, she began appearing on <em>This Morning</em> on ITV in the UK as their fashion expert, and she maintains a strong presence on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TrinnyWoodall/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Facebook</span></strong></a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0QhU7ee8rr7Bl0DYN8oi7w" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">YouTube</span></strong></a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trinnywoodall/?hl=en" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Instagram</span></strong></a>, where she shares advice, reviews and style inspiration.
