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

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 am now at the age where I can withdraw a 25 per cent tax-free lump sum. I do not put in a set amount because my earnings are a moveable feast.

Those who earn money know best how to spend it.

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

The late 1990s were good to me. I was doing the Lottery, GMTV and I had a good contract with ITV. But I was working so hard, I never had time to celebrate. I never thought I was lucky.

Unless you completely understand the investment world, do not mess around with it. It is not something I would go anywhere near.
