Anthea Millicent Turner (born 25 May 1960) is an English television presenter. She was a host of Blue Peter from 1992 until 1994, and of GMTV from 1994 until 1996.
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.
Maybe, instead of paying so much in tax, the very rich could be incentivised to help their local community and young people who do not have a home.
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.
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.
There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.
It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.
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.
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.
Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness.
People who earn reasonable amounts are being turned into the anti-Christ. I think 45 per cent tax is a colossal amount to take off somebody, and it is taking away the incentive to earn.
The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.
Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.
If you are a housewife, take pride in that.
If your fridge is full this Christmas, use nature's refrigerator - your car!
Unless you completely understand the investment world, do not mess around with it. It is not something I would go anywhere near.
I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.
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.
We should be encouraging people to earn a lot of money. I do not know one wealthy person who does not spend money - and most of them employ other people.
I grew up in a world before people had credit cards. There were no magic cards - it was all about budgeting.
I have always liked clothes - throughout my life, my saving grace has been my own vanity.
