"Well, the nails went by the way side – look at the state of these, minging, I can’t believe I’m publicly sharing them.
"So I’m taking a tip from my teenage daughter.
"What I’ve done is bought some of the £1 nail glue from Primark and a little packet of their nails.
"So I’m going to give them a go because to get a full set of nails put on, can cost £40, to get them infilled is twenty something pounds.
