Those who earn money know best how to spend it.

It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.

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

Often, there is a job - say, for a voiceover or an appearance - and you think: 'Blimey!' From the outside it would seem like you are being paid a lot for a short amount of your time. It would be inappropriate to share how much they pay, but in the industry we call it 'doing a bank raid'. Unfortunately, those jobs do not happen every week.

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

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

I do not think we should tax people to a point where they are looking for tax loopholes and getting their money out of the country.

One wise decision I made was buying a plot of land with planning permission in Richmond, and building my own five-bedroom home on it. I sold three years after I completed the building and more than doubled my money. I like Richmond and always have my eyes open for other properties in the area.

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 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.

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.

I grew up in a world before people had credit cards. There were no magic cards - it was all about budgeting.

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

There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.

If you are a housewife, take pride in that.

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