Divorce is the biggest drain, outside of school fees, and nobody wins. People think it is always in the woman's favour, but it is not necessarily.

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.

I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.

When I was 16 I got a school holiday job at Minton's pottery factory in Staffordshire, packing plates. For a month's work, I was paid £44. Everything I now know about the birds and the bees, I learnt there.

Why do we consider that just because people have more money, they do not deserve it? It is totally wrong. They deserve everything they have earned.

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.

Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.
