It’s 11pm. Just finished filming the third Make Me Rich (my new ITV1 series, though it may not be shown third). I’m on the train back to London from Rugby. Left at 6.30am this morning. It’s been an exhausting day, but I’m very pleased with the result (plus I ache, I’ve just started going to the gym, and I went for the second time last night, and it huuurrttsss!)
First of all the savings are all pain-free. I didnt have to make the family ‘cut back’ at all. I love that. It’s where my passion is. Plus the savings are enormously gigantically HUGE! And some really interesting issues came up.
The worst bit was I was made to film in a jacuzzi and had hefty “I dont want to show too much flesh - it’s bad for my credibility” issues. Whereas the producer (as they always do) thought ‘great, a different shot’ and wanted to milk it. Modesty mainly prevailed, I’m pleased to say.
