It’s hard to believe that Lorraine Kelly is in her 60s, even if she has had her own breakfast TV show for almost three decades! There’s no denying that the bubbly Scot, 61, gives women half her age a run for their money – and even Lorraine herself agrees that it’s common for some ladies to look decades younger these days.
She says, ‘I do believe that the 60s are the new 40s and I would say that’s got a lot to do with most of us these days not looking our age! Helen Mirren, Joan Collins, Meryl Streep – these women are in their prime.’
Lorraine insists that women are no longer being silenced by ageing and the menopause, adding, ‘Before, when you went into the menopause, it was like all of a sudden you became invisible, as if you had nothing more to contribute. But the absolute reverse is happening now and women who are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond have a lot more to say, a lot more to do and a lot more energy to do it. It’s probably because we’re now taking better care of ourselves.’
