Anthea Turner, 64, reveals the secret to her age-defying looks - and it's not what you think
The TV presenter, 64, who recently returned from a dreamy break at Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia with her fiancé Mark Armstrong, looked radiant during an exclusive catch-up with OK! - but her glow isn't just thanks to the Caribbean sunshine.
When asked what her secret is, Anthea revealed that her skincare brand's Balm 6 product keeps her skin 'hydrated and in good shape.' However, she also occasionally gets Botox.
She told the publication: 'Well, Balm 6 obviously keeps my skin hydrated and in good shape. But I still have Botox, which can be amazing if used properly.
'I can still frown a bit, but I haven't looked properly angry since I was about 40! I have a tiny bit of filler in my cheeks.
'I've used IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for years to manage pigmentation on my face, neck and chest, and I wear factor 30 to 50 on my face, chest and hands every day.
The star also revealed she has microneedling treatments with Lynton, a laser company, which she highly recommends.
With her 65th birthday just a few weeks away, Anthea shared that ageing doesn't bother her in the slightest.
She said it 'doesn't bother me' - but it's people's reactions to ageing that can be the real issue.
She added that her generation 'really changed the world,' and so much has evolved - including how generational lines have blurred. For example, there's no longer a clear divide in fashion, which she believes is 'brilliant'.
Twice-married Anthea has been engaged to Mark since 2019, though they have yet to tie the knot.
When asked about wedding plans, she explained that COVID-19 disrupted everything - and tragically, both Mark's mum and her own mum passed away.
She added that two of her stepdaughters got married soon after, so their own wedding plans were put on the back burner - but she insisted they'll still get around to it.
She also said that their recent Saint Lucia trip was especially important, explaining: 'It's so easy to lose each other if you're not careful.'
A holiday, she said, gives you the space to reconnect - and she truly cherishes her relationship with Mark.
Elsewhere in the interview, Anthea spoke lovingly about becoming a 'glam-ma.'
Her stepdaughter, Claudia Bovey, recently welcomed a baby boy named Dexter, and Anthea shared the happy news on Instagram with a heartfelt message to Claudia and her partner, James.
Posting a sweet snap of her grandson, Anthea captioned the post: 'Claudia Bovey you are a star ⭐️
'Love you James for making her so happy Dexter is beautiful. Hugs and Kisses forever.
She concluded: 'Granny Anth' alongside several emojis.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Katie, 47, and Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 31, had parted ways. Closer magazine claimed the couple had "gone their separate ways" with JJ allegedly having "packed his bags and moved out". However, Katie appears to have quashed these rumours by posting a picture featuring JJ prominently. Via her Instagram stories, Katie uploaded an image showing JJ positioned at a laptop. The reality TV star was captured during a photoshoot whilst having her hair and makeup applied. Seated at a table in the photograph was JJ. So it looks like the love story continues for Katie and JJ. The couple first became an item at the end of 2023, and following a turbulent whirlwind romance, but an insider earlier this week that alleged that Katie has grown 'bored' and that JJ has 'lost his sparkle'. "Katie and JJ have decided to go their separate ways, with JJ having already packed his bags and moved out. Ultimately, Katie's gotten bored. Friends and family had been warning JJ for a while that he'd lost his sparkle and that she treated him like a doormat," a source revealed to Closer. The insider went on to disclose that Katie 'isn't upset' about being single once more and has numerous options sliding into her DMs, even making quips to her mate where she compared men to handbags. They continued: "JJ has seen the messages, DM's sliding in and out from other men, Katie isn't upset. She even joked with her pal, 'new house, new start!

She lives for her next hit, and sadly, JJ is just another statistic of collateral damage."

She revealed her worries about spending excessive time with JJ and neglecting her mates. She explained: "When you meet someone, it's natural to want to be with them all the time. Then the mistakes I've made in the past are then you're with them all the time." She continued: "I'm a bit worried that I've got like that with JJ."

Abbey Clancy says ‘I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you' in brutal marriage insight
Model Abbey Clancy and former England international footballer Peter Crouch have been married since 2011, and regularly share insights into their relationship on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch Abbey Clancy says she wouldn't trust husband Peter Crouch 'as far as she could throw him' in a brutal marriage insight. The model has been with former England footballer Peter for almost two decades. The couple married in 2011, five years after they started dating, and now share four children together. They regularly discuss the highs and lows of married life on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch. In a recent episode, a listener wrote in saying their friends had all found themselves in relationships meaning they had no one to go out with. It prompted the woman to ask them if they would attend a singles night together. While former Liverpool forward Peter, 44, sympathised with the woman, he believes they should just organise a regular 'girls night'. He said: 'I get she wants to go out with the girls, that's fine, go to a pub, go to a restaurant, you can't go to a singles night.' Abbey queried 'what's the difference' between going to a singles night and a regular night on the town. To which Peter replied: 'If I said to you, my mate is single and he's not got a girlfriend, so I'm just going to go to this singles night tonight to help him out, how would you feel?' Abbey said: 'I'd be like grow up. If you're confident enough in your relationship and secure in your relationship then your head won't be turned.' Husband Peter shot back saying Abbey 'isn't confident enough in their relationship' if she wouldn't let him go. She said: 'I'm not, I'm absolutely not, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you. 'You're under lock and key, mister. I would help my friend out, maybe not a singles night then.' Peter and Abbey met in Liverpool in 2005. Recalling how they met during an interview on Good Morning Britain, Abbey said: 'When we first met, he begged me for my number and then I went to the loo or the bar, and when I came back, he was talking to another girl. I was like, 'How dare you?'' Peter went on to say he was 'just talking' to the other girl but Abbey asked for her number back. He added: 'I said, 'You can't give someone your number and then take it back'.' Despite the initial bump in the road, their relationship blossomed and the couple tied the knot on June 30, 2011. According to OK! , the family live in a 'magical' Surrey mansion complete with its own cinema room and a huge garden. The sprawling mansion regularly features on Abbey's social media feeds. Fans have seen glimpses of Peter working at his large wooden desk, complete with football trophy, as well as enjoying the property's outdoor swimming pool and wooden play area. They are said to have moved into the stunning property in 2016.

Woman spends £73k to become Barbie but is told she looks ‘awful' and ‘ugly' – her ‘before' photo will leave you stunned
A WOMAN has revealed that she has splashed more than £73,000 to look like a real life Barbie doll. Marcela Iglesias, 47, who is from Buenos Aires and lives in Los Angeles, is obsessed with looking young and has not only had plastic surgery, but also goes for regular Botox and filler appointments too. 6 6 6 6 But since going public with her plastic look, social media users have been left totally stunned after seeing her 'before' photo. Revealing all to Truly on an episode of Hooked on the Look, the blonde beauty, who has been dubbed a 'human Barbie', explained: "I have spent between Botox, fillers, injections, surgery, tanning, hair, make-up, around $100,000 [£73,639]." Reflecting on her desire to look like the popular children's doll, Marcela, who began getting Botox in 2012 and had her breasts done in 2022, said: 'All my life, I've been trying to look like a doll. "I wanna emulate Barbie, she's my idol. I believe I can be anything I want. 'The reason that I wanted to emulate the Barbie doll is that my mother never bought me a Barbie doll. She disliked the doll. 'I love the aesthetics of the doll and wanted to look like her, not because I wasn't secure, it's just about how I perceived the doll aesthetically.' But the mum 's unique look attracts attention wherever she goes and online, she can be subject to cruel comments. She shared: "I get a lot of judgment. In the beginning it kind of bothered me. "The things they said, 'you look awful, you look ugly, you don't look like a Barbie'. 'It took me a while to process the bad comments and that people will be mean no matter what." Moment Olivia Attwood gasps 'oh my god' as Price Of Perfection star reveals incredible before and after surgery pics after £250k makeover But not ready to stop with her transformation, Marcela's next plan is butt implants, as she expressed her desire to make her derrière rounder. Reflecting on her journey, the influencer summarised: "Obviously Barbie is the icon of the dolls, but I also wanted to bring my own version to the look." Clapping back to those who dislike her look, Marcela snapped: 'They should not be judging, they should look in the mirror and judge themselves first, rather than judge somebody self.' But YouTube users were stunned by Marcela's look and many rushed to the comments to share their thoughts, with trolls out in full force. What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS One person said: 'Where do these people get money to do these things and live the lavish lifestyle. They seem to have more money than sense.' Another added: 'She was 100000000 times better natural!' A third commented: 'She was so beautiful before the operations.' Meanwhile, someone else penned: 'Her face doesn't look like a Barbie at all.' At the same time, someone else wondered: 'Why would anyone want to look plastic? "Girl, you need to stop the surgery and pay for a good therapist.'
