She admitted:
“I hate the expression gold digger. At the end of the day, men who have money are successful and that is an enormous aphrodisiac.
“Any woman who says her ideal man is not tall, dark, handsome and loaded is lying. But I never ask a man to buy me things, it just happens.”
“For me I’d just had enough of dating deadbeat guys.
“I like nice things and I’m not ashamed of that and I like going to nice dinners and I like romance. And wealthy guys are very romantic.
“I’m not the type of girl that will settle for the middle.”

Why Does She Have The Title ‘Lady’?
The Chelsea born dating expert was gifted the title of ‘Lady’ at Christmas in 2013 by one of her friends. Her title is now legally on her bank card, helps her get flight upgrades and bag reservations at top restaurants.
What’s Her Background?
When Nadia was 14, her parent’s split up because her dad’s business had gone bankrupt. As her mum attempted to make a living from benefits, Nadia and her three brothers vowed to get jobs and ensure they didn’t follow in their parents’ footsteps.
What Is Her Net Worth?
Nadia’s net worth is largely estimated due to a designer shoe collection worth around £10,000 that includes brands, such as Louboutin, Burberry, Chanel and Jimmy Choo; the shoes have all been gifted to her by dates. As well as shoes, Nadia’s had jewellery, dresses and handbag, as well as been flown to Rome, Paris and New York – where do we sign up?!
In total, her net worth is thought to be around £250,000!

What Happened Between Lady Nadia Essex’s And Gary Beadle?
Not one for filtering her words, Nadia once felt the wrath of Geordie Shore star Gary Beadle after she claimed that ‘he has no one’ during an interview with a magazine.
“I think it’s going to take a few more years before he wises up to the fact that, actually, he’s slept with all these girls but he’s got no one on the end of the phone to call when something goes really well in his life.“
Surprisingly, Gaz wasn’t exactly thrilled to hear Nadia’s comments and hit back at her:
“The fact is, Nadia is like however old, sitting writing about me and my life. This makes me think she seriously needs to get a life.”

So, How Old Is Nadia?
Nadia was born on 16th December 1981, making her currently 37 years old.
What Happened With Nadia And Eden?
Nadia was suspended from presenting Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating for inappropriate social media use. She shared online messages under a fake Twitter account, where she trolled he colleague Eden Blackman, calling him ‘sick’ and ‘disgraceful’ for allegedly cheating on his (now) ex-girlfriend with Chanelle Sadie Paul – a woman who appeared on Celebs Go Dating.
Nadia revealed that she wasn’t in a good headspace when she posted the abuse online and felt annoyed that she was told to keep quiet about Eden’s affair.
“I felt like I wasn’t allowed my freedom of speech and was told not to put out a public statement and was in completely the wrong headspace and was a mess. I couldn’t leave the house because I was terrified people would hurl abuse at me in the street. People were so angry I wasn’t condemning Eden’s cheating that I was getting abused online constantly.”
‘I thought it was acceptable to create those accounts to monitor an online troll who has been abusing me for three years. I just wanted to see what she was saying. I have had suicidal thoughts from the mountain of abuse I have received.”

She’s Now Expecting A Baby!
Nadia recently revealed that she’s 17 weeks pregnant with her first child. The 37 year old TV personality told her fans that doctors had told her she had less than one percent chance of falling pregnant. So, unsurprisingly, Nadia is calling her bump ‘a miracle’.
She said:
“The odds weren’t in my favour, as for so long I thought I couldn’t have children – so this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s a miracle!
“I had tried for a baby ten years ago with a previous partner, with no success. I’d recently stopped taking the contraceptive pill, but I was using protection. My doctor told me there was less than one per cent chance of conception. Everyone’s shocked, but I wouldn’t change a thing!”
