ROGER SANCHEZ is one of the hardest working DJs in the business.
But he credits the late nights with keeping him looking so young, despite being two years off 60.
Roger told me in an exclusive chat ahead of his next massive residency night at Pacha in Ibiza: 'I actually think the nightlife has kept me younger.
'People always ask, 'Who's your plastic surgeon?'
'I'm like, God, I've never had any work done.
'I drink lots of water.
'I think just being, and staying, healthy and having healthy practices does help you look younger and feel younger, which is actually even more important than looking younger.
'Thankfully, my energy is still at a very high level, and that allows me to keep that youthful appearance.'

HEART Breakfast radio host Jamie Theakston has revealed Beyonce once tried to set him up with Kelly Rowland.
Yes, really.
The presenter revealed on air yesterday that the Single Ladies singer attempted to play Cupid backstage at Top Of The Pops in the Nineties when he was interviewing Destiny's Child.
Jamie said: 'Beyonce tried to set me up with Kelly Rowland.
'Destiny's Child were on Top Of The Pops and I was chatting to Beyonce and she said, 'Are you single?'
'I can't remember how it came about and she said, 'Oh, Kelly's single, you two would make a fantastic . . . '
'And I went, 'Oh stop it Beyonce, leave me alone'.'

SABRINA CARPENTER is still using her ex Barry Keoghan as inspiration six months after their split.
The singer wasn't shy about putting the Irish actor in her songs when they were dating, including on racy track Bed Chem.
Sabrina's new song Manchild is out today, and announcing it on Instagram she wrote: 'This one's about you.'
The lyrics include, 'Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man.'
I'm sure when we hear the full track, it's going to be pretty punchy.
Sabrina's fans jumped all over the post saying it was about Barry, who was accused of cheating on the US star before their relationship ended.
Both their camps insisted they'd just grown apart when they broke up in December.
NEW Ibiza club UNVRS, backed by Will Smith, has top tech, screens suspended from the ceiling and a life-sized crashed UFO.
But more strangely, there is a DJ and decks set-up in the middle of the toilets.
Guests have told us they wandered about for ages trying to find the loos, which are called the Wild Comet room.
AMANDA HOLDEN says the secret to staying ahead of her rivals after 20 years in showbiz is the ability to adapt.
The Britain's Got Talent judge told us: 'You have to evolve, you have to keep going.
'You can't just say, 'It's not great or it's not this'.
'Embrace it, learn all about it and go with it.
'Then you have a wider reach.'
