I have always liked clothes - throughout my life, my saving grace has been my own vanity.

I had started working in television but it did not pay that much. I was 27, renting this little one-bed flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London, with a bathroom so small only someone of my size could actually get in it.

Of course, we all have to be taxed, but once you start to earn more than £150,000, and start paying 45 per cent tax, you are penalised. It is like a witch hunt.

I have worked and earned all my life and have found that divorce is an expensive process. Whichever way you look at it, you are going to halve your wealth. If you can avoid it, do. It is an awful process.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness.

A lot of people live in a property that will one day be part of their pension, and that is true for me too. I have an investment I can sell with ease.
