Closer Online take a look inside Real Housewives of Cheshire star Ester Dee's fridge...

How much do you spend per week?

£150 for me, my mum and my daughter, Pearl, seven. I never shop online as I don’t trust the sell-by dates and I like to choose my products. I go to supermarkets and look at all the offers.

Describe your daily diet…

I start with coffee and my first meal will be lunch, normally at 2pm. If I’m working, I’ll have a veggie wrap or fish and chips, and if I’m at home I’ll have a big bowl of steamed rice with vegetables. For dinner, we occasionally have a Chinese or Indian takeaway or I’ll cook pasta with salmon or tuna. I don’t snack as it starts me off eating too much. My boyfriend and I are together every second week as he lives abroad, so we’ll have a glass of wine every night, or maybe Champagne.

Is there anything you refuse to eat?

Meat, as it makes me feel too full.

Strangest thing you’ve eaten?

I tried snails once and I had to vomit it out! I just didn’t like the texture – too squidgy!

What would you cook to impress?

I would make my Yellow Curry, which is a cream-based vegetable curry. I cook it with chicken for my boyfriend and serve it with basmati rice. That is my signature dish.

Food hangover cure?

Fried eggs with toast works for me.

Comfort food?

If I’m feeling low, I will reach for something sweet like a big slice of chocolate cake or a Starbucks Toffee Nut Muffin.

Verdict

Nutritionist Juliette Kellow says, “Ester’s fridge contains plenty of nutritious foods. But as she’s skipping breakfast, it’s harder for her to get all the nutrients she needs. Good options would be toasted sourdough with eggs and tomatoes, fruit, soya yogurt and toasted oats, or porridge with fruit. She should also make sure she has protein at each meal like beans, lentils, chick peas, Quorn and tofu.”
