Lingerie tycoon Michelle finally lands in £2m luxury Mayfair flat

Lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone has fulfilled a childhood dream by buying a home in the area renowned as the most expensive spot on a Monopoly board.

The 39-year-old Ultimo boss has moved into a 2 million flat in Mayfair, one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods.

She said she had been inspired by playing the board game as a child.

"My goal was always the same - to buy Mayfair. Now here I was, 30 years later, having just been handed my own little piece of Mayfair.

"An amazing apartment on the area's best street. A part of me did think, 'Wow, how did I do that?' "

Mone, who was born into a cramped one-bedroom flat in Glasgow's East End, is currently refurbishing her mansion in Scotland. But she wanted a London pad as a base in the city where most of her work is done.

She also revealed she has become such close friends with TV star Carol Vorderman, that the spare bedroom is known as "Carol's room".
