What was your last splurge buy?

A beautiful doll's house for my daughter - she loves her dolls, so I just couldn't resist it!

What was your last regret buy?

A wedding ring.

How are you with managing your money?

I'm much better than I used to be. I've spent quite irresponsibly in the the past, but I've now learned not to throw cash around so frivolously! But then I've never really spent on myself, it's normally on others.

Other than your home and car, what’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?

I went to look at a Hermes belt in Selfridges which cost £2500. The sales assistant was looking down his nose at me, so I just had to buy it! I got my girlfriend at the time to take it back a week later!

What’s your biggest weakness when it comes to spending?

There's nothing better than buying gifts for loved ones.

What were the last six things you bought?

  1. I spend about £50 every couple of days in M&S. This is on their lovely healthy food, including all the ingredients I need for my juicing.

  2. £15 on a new fitness dvd - I like to keep up with all the new exercise regimes.

  3. A romantic night out with my fiancée Nicola which cost around £100

  4. A new set of lycra workout gear - for my brand new Roll & Flow workout

  5. A bunch of flowers for my lovely Mum

  6. A session with my hypnotherapist Louise Phillips £150
