Anthea Turner is determined not to let her forthcoming milestone birthday hold her back – and, if anything, she’s going all out to keep life interesting. But the 59-year-old TV presenter, who is 60 at the end of May, insists the answer doesn’t lie at the bottom of a pot of face cream.
She claims, ‘As you get older, you tend to become safer, you don’t try things in the same way. But it’s not about lotions and potions and creams that are supposed to keep you looking young. I think if you want to keep yourself vital and young, it’s actually about doing things, getting out there and frightening yourself a bit, because, oh, my goodness, you’ll feel euphoric.’
It’s this positive outlook on life that led to Anthea to join a collection of stars who all wanted to be put through their paces by former British special forces soldier Ant Middleton and his colleagues on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, currently airing on Channel 4.
She explains, ‘Every year, I try and do something that pushes me out of my comfort zone, and I’m 60 this year, so I had to go big.’
