HE calls his family 'the Kardashians of Wales' and like Kim, Matthew Roberts is to enjoy his own slice of tv fame.


The Port Tennant 20-year-old will feature in Young, Welsh and Pretty Skint on BBC Wales tomorrow night.

It features Welsh people who spend a fortune on their looks above all else.

Matthew is a trainee hairdresser at his aunt's hair salon and has his own signature hairstyle which he's very proud of.

A fan of Lady Gaga, his dream is to become a singer.

He said: "I am spoilt, because I'm the only child.

"I get all the money and all the presents – just call us the Kardashians of Wales."

He said his aunt gave him advice saying: "It's always better to be looked at, than overlooked."

Also on the programme is family beauty salon co-owner Jayde, 26, from Bryncoch.

She claimed happiness in life came from having good hair, adding: "Having your hair done is a massive deal.

"It's not the most important thing in life, in the universe, but it's a good place to start.

"Because if your hair is right then you feel right and your life is going to go completely how you planned it."

She said she could not imagine life without her long, glossy locks, despite the £320 price tag.

"Women are beautiful without their extra hair, we don't need the extra hair, but there's something about having that feminine, long, glossy, healthy hair and if you can get it in an hour instead of taking 10 years to grow it, why not."

She said men should also spend money on their looks, but was suspicious of beards.

"It's scary because they could be hiding a lot, hiding a double chin, hiding anything really," she added.

"I feel sorry for men because they can't wear make-up like women can, we can change the way our face looks. You can trick men into falling in love with you. You look natural but you're not natural.

"There are times when I don't even recognise myself in the mornings.

"You can make some girls who are not very fortunate looking, very fortunate looking."

Also on the show are full time sports nutrition student and fitness model Caitlin who has a collection of bikinis worth between £6,000 and £7,000, and Kate and Caz, who have set up the UK's largest 24-hour gym near Bridgend - Caz's bum has its own Facebook page with more than 5,000 followers.
