I Woke Up Like This: Soccer star Ellie Carpenter's pre-training rituals

In our 'I Woke Up Like This' series, 9Honey removes the filters from everyday life and bares all for a much-needed reality check.

We will be speaking to a range of people — from faces you know to faces you will want to know — to tear away the façade of make-up and social media and bring things back to basics with realistic 'I woke up like this' selfies and morning routines.
