ME and my MONEY

TV PRESENTER Gethin Jones says setting up a charity for autistic children was one of the best money decisions he has ever made.

The former Blue Peter presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star has made hundreds of thousands of pounds from savvy investments.

Jones, the son of teachers, used to answer phones for a living and envy the wealth of his successful friends. Now 39, he recently started dating 28-year-old underwear model Katja Zwara. He lives in a £1.2million flat in West London and can earn £12,000 an hour.

After his nephew was diagnosed with autism, he founded a charity, Nai, and spends thousands ensuring all donations go to good causes.
