My attitude towards money is because of my mum and dad. My parents have always worked full time and I've always had that work ethic in me.

I just wanted to be myself and that's why I chose to do 'Big Brother,' because I wanted everyone to see the real Amy Childs.

I've worked really hard. I could go and by a really expensive watch, but I don't. I still have an allowance and I stick to it. I never go over it and I always put a bit of money away to save.

I was happy working for £6 an hour.

My parents used to say to me to save. Always save. They also told me to invest in properties and to never go over your monthly allowance.

I do save a lot. I'm a reality TV star but at the end of the day I know you have to save. With my career it can sometimes be over in an instant and that's why I've always saved.

I think people think I spend loads but I very rarely treat myself. I could splash out on lots of things but I put my money into properties.
