My Money: ‘I grew up in a privileged household – but I was out working from a young age'
Dunphy is also a brand ambassador for the probiotic supplement Alflorex, and has recently been speaking of her experience living with irritable bowel syndrome. How did your upbringing shape your relationship with money? The one thing my parents instilled in me was a cast-iron work ethic. I grew up in a privileged household, but I was out working from a young age. There were the usual babysitting gigs from the age of 13 (which I may go back to, given what they can charge now). Then I did everything throughout my teens – from being a nurse's aide in a retirement home, to pub work and then I did a stint in a petrol station. I had friends who lived on the pocket money that they got from their parents, but the sense of independence that comes from working at a young age is a great gift. Have you ever felt broke? I've never earned a lot of money, so I'm always careful with it. But I was very broke in my early 20s, after a year in Australia followed by another year volunteering in Malaysia. I came home with nothing, and had to take the first job I could get, at a plastic injection moulding company. Feel free to ask me about widgets anytime. What has your TV career taught you about money? Unless you have a salaried job with a broadcaster or production company, then most TV jobs are contract to contract and are precarious beyond belief. ADVERTISEMENT I worked with a production company for 12 years but wanted the freedom that comes with freelance work. There's no sick leave and no pension contributions in freelance life. The truth is that I'm probably more suited to a more secure line of work. What's the most expensive place you've ever been to? The most expensive place was one I didn't pay for. My husband and I were put up in The Dorchester in London for an awards ceremony one year, and were given a suite overlooking Hyde Park. It was so opulent it was a bit ludicrous. I left the awards ceremony early just to come back and hang out in the room. There were only a handful of other suites on that entire floor, and Hugh Jackman and Tom Cruise were in two of them. Of course, I did the unsophisticated thing of googling what the room cost and it was about £3,500 (€4,118) a night, which is just silly. What was your biggest ever extravagance? I'm not one for designer clothes or very expensive things. I'd rather spend any money I have on experiences – especially food or travel. One of my best friends lived in Cuba for a while, and I'd been talking about going to see her, but it was so expensive and such a big trip. Then just before Covid, I checked my bank balance, booked it, and went a few weeks later. They're the sort of expenses I would never regret. Whereas the one expensive handbag I own is still sitting in its dust cover, 10 years later. What was your best-ever investment? My apartment. The aforementioned freelance career would not be conducive to getting a mortgage these days, and my heart goes out to people stuck in our outrageously overpriced rental market. I still live in the first home I bought 20 years ago, and I'm very relieved I didn't sell it when I moved to London 10 years ago, or I'd be very much affected by the housing crisis now. What was your biggest ever financial mistake? Offering to split the bill when I arrived at the end of a meal, not knowing the others had all been drinking vintage Champagne. Ouch.
