'It doesn't do any harm' 

Victoria Featherstone Pearce, 53.

Working as a model and actor, I know better than anyone how judgemental society can be when it comes to age. Even when I was 30, I was already losing out on a lot of acting roles and modelling jobs because I was deemed 'too old'.

Although I'd never lie on my actual CV or on something like a dating app, I think the occasional white lie when it comes to age, to get ahead, is no big deal.
