But the entrepreneurial, newly-married (for the third time) Mr Ward has opened a London restaurant. And as the Financial Mail on Sunday reveals, his four-bedroom house in Muswell Hill, north London, leapt in value from pound;210,000 to pound;450,000 in seven years.
Rog, the paper says, doubled his mortgage to pound;80,000, and opened the Cafe on the Hill. It quotes him as saying: “The increase in the value of my house gave me the confidence that if the business failed I would have something to fall back on.”

Which is to say he resigned in disgrace after The TES helped establish his reputation for financial wizardry.
