Hilary shot to fame on the BBC business show where the Bolton native was beloved by fans for her tough talking ways. She left school at the age of 16 and endured a wild range of jobs - including a stint in the Women's RAF - before finally seeking her fortune.
The enterprising star eventually sold her house and her car to set up her business Pall-Ex which went on to be worth millions.
