Anita Rani is on a mission to overhaul our finances. In Secret Spenders, a brand-new series starting on C4 this week, the popular presenter will covertly film the shopping habits of three cash-strapped families in a bid to show them where their hard-earned money is going. Here, Anita, 43, tells TV Times more…
How would you describe this show’s format?
Me and my team are called in by one person in a family who’s slightly concerned about the spending habits of their partner. We set up cameras in the house to secretly film them, follow them around a bit, and then show them both what we’ve discovered.
My crack team – financial advisor Emmanuel Asuquo and lifestyle expert Anna Whitehouse – then go through everything with them and leave them with a much better understanding of how they could save money.
It’s basically what we all need in our lives! I could do with Anna and Emmanuel coming into my life and telling me what to do in my finances!
