Historian Bettany Hughes hates extravagance but tells ME &... 'The Beatles played music in my house': Johnny Ball on...
Dynamic duo: Michael Greco as Beppe di Marco with Martin Kemp in a scene from EastEnders

The best money decision you have made? 
Buying my former home, a four-bedroom house in Chiswick, West London, for ?625,000 in 2005.

I sold it for ?1million five years later.
Do you save into a pension? 
No. I should have started a pension when I was at EastEnders, but I didn't. I think I had the attitude that I should concentrate on what I was doing in the moment, rather than saving for a time 30 years into the future.

I was wrong. That was a mistake, but as an actor I do think I can work for as long as I need to. It's not like I have a shelf life. 
Do you invest in the stock market? 
No, but a few months ago I invested quite a lot - tens of thousands of pounds - in a company called Alpha Growth.

It's an asset manager which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. I hope my shares in the business will be worth a lot of money in the future. I've also put ?20,000 into cryptocurrencies, which are going through a tough time. 
Do you own any property? 
No.

I live with my partner Helen, mother of my son Gianluca who is eight months old. Helen owns a house in Hertfordshire. We're looking to buy somewhere nearby. 
Do you donate money to charity? 
Yes, to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

My baby son was there for the first eight weeks of his life. He was born six weeks premature. Frankly, he was touch and go and we had a really tough time. So I know first hand the incredible work they do at that hospital and how much they deserve our support.
What is your number one financial priority? 
My son and his future.

I had the best upbringing from my parents. I want him to have the same.
