The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has expressed that he becomes annoyed if his bed is left unmade.
On Saturdays, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak prepares scrambled eggs in the kitchen, takes the task of stacking the dishwasher very seriously, and spends his evenings re-watching the popular television show Friends.
A recent Grazia magazine interview with the prime minister and his wife, Akshata Murty, unveiled the information.
The video that features the interview received a variety of reactions on the internet. Several individuals found it embarrassing or awkward, while others questioned its significance.
Grazia presents an overview of "how the most well-known couple in the country divide household chores" in anticipation of International Women's Day.
Within a brief five-minute video, the duo discloses which one of them holds the responsibility of making the bed ("It's certainly Rishi," shares Ms. Murty), who has superior dishwasher loading abilities ("I do," declares Mr. Sunak), and who devours literature more frequently.
Regarding that final point, the solution is Ms. Murty, according to Mr. Sunak's explanation. He states that he is too tired after work each day, so he likes to unwind by watching an episode of the beloved TV show "Friends" prior to going to sleep.
Ms Murty mentioned that they have seen the identical instalments of Friends an innumerable number of times. The twosome consent that the American TV comedy is timeless, it never loses its charm.
Mr. Sunak seems to place great significance on tidying up the bed.
"It annoys me, which is why I have the habit of returning to the apartment from the office after everyone has already left, just to ensure that the bed is made. If it hasn't been made, it really bothers me," he explains.
According to Ms Murty, it is considered as one of his unique abilities.
According to the couple, Mr Sunak is superior in the art of cooking but unfortunately doesn't have much leisure time for it. He usually prepares breakfast only on a Saturday morning, and his specialty is scrambled eggs as per Gordon Ramsay's recipe.
The pair stated that their kids are responsible for tidying their own clothing, setting the table, and inevitably making their own beds. However, Mr. Sunak expressed his desire for his children to walk the family dog more frequently.
Ms Murty dislikes making the bed more than any other chore, while her husband detests taking out the trash.
The head of state finds it difficult to decide on his preferred household chore, whether it is making the bed or piling the plates in the dishwasher. He states that both have a pleasing conclusion; however, he ultimately opts for making the bed.

'PMs Get 'relatable': Meet 'Dave''
It's not uncommon for politicians to share personal details about their home life in interviews, especially during election season, in the hopes of connecting with the electorate. Mr. Sunak is just the latest example of this trend.
Back when David Cameron held the position of UK's prime minister, he expressed his admiration for the TV series Spooks during an interview on Richard Bacon's XFM drivetime show. Additionally, he revealed that many people address him by the nickname "Dave."
Before the 2017 election, Theresa May, who was the prime minister at the time, was questioned in an interview with ITV News about the most mischievous act she has ever done.
She became notorious for her response when she stated that she used to "dash around meadows of wheat." The statement has gained so much attention that it currently has a dedicated article on Wikipedia.
Mrs May and her husband, Philip May, made an appearance on The One Show during the election campaign.
She disclosed that there were distinctive roles for boys and girls in the May household whereby certain tasks were designated as "boy jobs" such as the responsibility of removing the garbage.
Philip May and Theresa May were featured in an interview on The One Show.
Gordon Brown was criticized for not directly answering a question regarding his preferred type of biscuit during an online conversation with the parenting website Mumsnet while he served as the prime minister.
He corrected himself afterwards by stating that he enjoys "anything that has some chocolate in it".
A previous leader of a country chose a varied method. Naga Munchetty, during her interview on BBC Breakfast, questioned Boris Johnson when it came to what made him more relatable before the 2019 general election.
When asked if he is relatable, Mr Johnson responded by saying he doesn't know. He found it to be the most challenging question he has ever been asked from a psychological standpoint.
