Charlie Dimmock has said that she refuses to disclose her fortune publicly and needs regular financial advice.
While the Garden Rescue star’s love life has been public knowledge – she dated viticulturist John Mushet for 13 years before they split in 2001.
Shortly after, Charlie had a brief relationship with Ground Force microphone operator Andy Simmons – but one thing fans have been curious about is the star’s net-worth.
Charlie, who is currently single, is estimated to be worth a staggering £7.1million, according to Wealthy Genius. However, don’t expect her to confirm it.

When asked if she was cautious with money, she replied: “Yes I am. I live alone so I don’t have too many costs, but my financial adviser tells me I’ve got far too much cash in my current account.
“He keeps saying ‘Don’t leave it there – over a 10-year span you won’t get as much money as if you invest it.” She also revealed that she’s occasionally frivolous with money, hence the need for the advisor.
“I’m generally good [with money], but I can be a bit irresponsible. I bought an outrageous pair of shoes, for example – some strappy gold stilettos with a tiny diamante on the corner that cost me £200.”
