In our How I Manage My Money series, we aim to find out how people are spending, saving and investing money to meet their costs and achieve their goals. This week, in our celebrity edition, we speak to Love Island star and fitness entrepreneur Gabby Allen, 34, who reveals how her family’s finances changed after her father’s death and how she managed to buy a London flat before she turned 30.

Both my mum and dad had their own businesses and were grafters. My mum had her own clothes boutique, and my dad had a fruit and veg shop before he moved into property development when I was a teenager.
My brother and I always had the best of everything. We both went to private school, and on gorgeous holidays. We had money, but it was through hard work.
