Anthea Turner, 64, reveals the secrets behind finding love later in life - and the joys of becoming a 'glam-ma' to her stepdaughter's baby son
Anthea Turner has revealed the secrets behind finding love later in life after she bounced back from a tough divorce to meet her new fiance. The TV presenter, 64, split from husband-of-15-years Grant Bovey in 2015 but four years later got engaged to Mark Armstrong. Now she has explained how she remained optimistic through the collapse of her second marriage, having previously been with Peter Powell from 1990 to 1998, and the difficulties of adjusting future plans in her fifties. She told OK! 'I'm a Gemini, so I'm always optimistic. I always knew that at some point, I'd meet somebody else. But obviously, you don't know when, who. And it's daunting, if you're in your fifties and all of a sudden, whatever you thought your future was, suddenly disappears. 'It depends what stage in your life things happen. I think the older you get, that natural optimism isn't there in the same way. But for me, I've always had a younger attitude. The elixir of youth isn't in a pot of cream. It's in your attitude.' Her ex Grant's daughter Claudia has recently welcomed a son and Anthea lifted the lid on the joys of becoming a 'glam-ma'. 'We have Dexter in our family now!' she said. 'It's wonderful. Claudia, my stepdaughter, is the happiest I've ever seen her. She's an amazing mum and it's a joy to watch her with James, her partner. It's really lovely seeing someone you love so happy.' Anthea recently shared the happy news on Instagram with a heartfelt message to Claudia and James. Posting a sweet snap of her grandson, the former GMTV presenter 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. Anthea also revealed her relationship with all of Grant's three children remained strong despite their divorce and that Claudia even lived with her at one point. When asked about wedding plans with Mark, she explained that COVID-19 disrupted everything - and tragically, both Mark's mum and her own mum passed away in that period. She added that two of her stepdaughters got married soon after, meaning their own wedding plans were put on the back burner - but she insisted they'll still get around to it. With her 65th birthday just a few weeks away, Anthea shared that ageing doesn't bother her in the slightest (pictured aged 32 in 1992) The TV personality also said their recent break at Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia had been especially important. In the interview, she put her age-defying looks down to the occasional Botox and filler but mainly credits ageless features to her skincare brand's Balm 6 product. The star also revealed she has microneedling treatments with Lynton, a laser company, which she highly recommends.

Anthea Turner, 64, reveals the secret to her age-defying looks - and it's not what you think
Anthea Turner has now revealed the secret to her age-defying looks in a brand new interview – but it's not what you might expect. 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.
