Craig Revel-Horwood

Wed 14th May 2008

Craig is one of the most flamboyant judges on the hit TV show Strictly Come Dancing and isn’t afraid to tell contestants exactly what he thinks.

But whether he would get a perfect 10 from Martin’s Wallet Workout is another matter.

While he’s reasonable disciplined by saving plenty of cash and investing the rest, Martin still managed to find at least £1,800 of potential savings a year.

The dancing diva spends a whopping £5,000 a month on a variety of credit cards yet none of them are cashback cards. If he took out the top-paying card he could pocket an incredible £1,000 cashback a year.

Craig could also improve his MoneySavings skills by switching his savings away from HSBC to a top-rate account paying almost double the interest rate. After tax he could make an extra £800 in interest.

But it was a tough job convincing him to move his money away from the bank, given that one of his mates is a bank manager there.

Take a peek at what was in Edwina Currie's wallet last week.
