Ricky Gervais has insisted that he is "embarrassed" by how famous he has become, and admitted that he feels "guilty" about his resulting wealth.
The comedian has amassed a £7 million fortune from creating such shows as The Office and Extras, but he does not feel he deserves the amount of money he now has.
Gervais said: "I don't sit back and say, 'I deserve to earn silly amounts'. Doing so has made me feel guilty. Apart from being able to afford more things, I haven't changed my habits.
"I didn't go into the industry because I wanted to be famous. It can all get a bit embarrassing."
