“I have a mortgage, but 0 in savings and no pension.

“I’m proud of myself because I paid off my credit card debt this year and I’m in a much better position than I was this time last year.

“But instead of putting that extra money away for future me, I’m still investing a lot of it in present me.

“I need to find a better balance between the two but I’m proud of how far I’ve come.. even if I’m not where I thought I’d be at 34.”

She also opened up about her three year relationship with Matt.

The Sun exclusively revealed that the beauty had found love with another show star who was married to a rival bride Adrienne Naylor.

Shona said: “Sometimes love isn’t the complicated part. We love each other very much but being from different cities, navigating some really difficult family circumstances and both starting new careers has meant the logistics of building a life together haven’t always been simple.

“With both of us wanting to be close to our families for different reasons, figuring out where we eventually settle isn’t straightforward.

“After three years we both thought we’d have more of the answers by now. When it comes down to logistics, NOT falling out of love it’s really though.

“But how lucky are we to love each other enough to keep having the difficult conversations, keep choosing each other and keep figuring it out together?”

It comes after Shonabravely waived her anonymity right to speak out to accuse her on-screen partner Bradley of sexual misconduct, claiming he ejaculated inside her without permission.

He has denied all claims.
