After almost three decades of travelling across the world and staying in thousands of hotels, Catriona said there were 11 hacks she always followed. When asked which hotel tips she swears by, the mother-of-one said: 'Never drink the water. Turn off the air-con immediately to avoid catching a cold.
'On a cruise, book a salon treatment the moment you board and get all the location goss from the beautician. 'Never take candles or hair straighteners/tongs on a cruise ship. Travel in the shoulder season, never the high.'.

She continued: 'Use a local travel concierge if you’d like a more authentic experience. Never touch the mini bar they’re always overpriced. 'Take a little sample of your favourite coffee/tea. Photograph where you parked your car at the airport, as I guarantee you’ll return pooped and forget where you left it.
'If you like boiled eggs, take an egg cup from home, no one ever seems to supply them. Always be nice to whoever is checking you in.'. Catriona added that using 'a genuine smile and kindness' with check-in staff at hotels 'is always rewarded'. It comes after the TV presenter proved the depth of her love for the popular Stan neo-western series Yellowstone by dressing up as a fan-favourite character.
