I never got into debt because my parents had drummed into me at a young age: if you can't afford it, you can't have it.

Women trapped in violent relationships need to know that there's no shame in talking out and walking out on their abusive partners.

We all like to think that if we were the victims of domestic abuse we'd up and leave - but it's not always as easy or straightforward as that. Women stay with abusive partners for all kinds of reasons - they love them, they fear them, they have children with them, they believe they can change them or they simply have no where else to go.

The most lucrative work I have done is presenting primetime TV shows. I do not know what other people earn but a six-figure salary is not uncommon.

I spend hundreds of pounds a year on candles and it is such a waste of money. It is burning cash whatever way you look at it but I love them.

I do not think anyone should feel pressured into doing it but I am the sucker who will stop on the street and sign up to direct debits.
