Tess Daly, 56, says she still fits the same denims she wore in her 20s despite not dieting - so, which slim celebs are with her in the good jeans club?

Daily Mail​17-07-2025
They say age is just a number, but for a few select celebrities, it feels like that number hasn't changed in years.
And stars including Tess Daly and Gaby Roslin have revealed they still fit into the same size jeans they wore in their 20s.
This week, Tess explained: 'I'm wearing the same size jeans I was wearing in my 20s, but that's not from dieting - it's from maintaining.
'I've never dieted, and as a mother of daughters, I've always been very careful not to demonise sugar and not count calories, and I refuse to embrace any negative connotation around food because I think moderation is key.'
Meanwhile, supermodel Kate Moss, TV personality Amanda Holden, and Holly Willoughby have all been spotted recently rocking similar denim compared to when they were younger.
They have all been open about their fitness routines and how they have kept their figure and youthful looks throughout the years.
Tess Daly
Tess recently revealed she still fits into the same size jeans she wore in her 20s - but insisted she's never been one to diet.
The TV presenter, 56, said she exercises daily to maintain her core strength and said she believes she's cracked the formula to both feeling and looking great.
She said: 'I will do planks in my living room every day because core strength is really important to me at my age now, plus I'm also very tall and do a lot of running around in heels, so I need to support my back.'
She added that although she's now in her 50s, she feels as energetic as she did in her 20s.
The former model has previously given fans an insight into the varied ways she achieves her impeccable figure, from running on the treadmill while she watches her favourite Netflix shows and morning skipping circuits to trampolining in her back garden.
Tess has also credited daily yoga for both keeping her physically fit and maintaining her mental wellbeing, and shared her love for swimming.

Amanda Holden
Known for her incredible figure and style, Amanda has always been pictured wearing skinny jeans.
And despite the Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, having a slim figure since she was young, Amanda previously revealed she's 'not a slave' to her fitness regime.
She admitted she 'loves food too much' and ensures she sticks to her routine for her 'own discipline and dignity.'
Speaking to The Times about how a 'school-gate mum' achieves and maintains her good looks, the TV personality shared the details.
Amanda discussed her extensive fitness regime, revealing that she runs three to four miles a week in addition to Kundalini yoga practice and a 'Viking workout regime.'
Despite her somewhat intense sounding exercise plan, she reiterates that she doesn't do it because she 'feels like she has too,' and explained the importance of balance.
'I am not a slave to any beauty or fitness regime because I love food too much. I eat cheese and butter and I love a drink.
'But the deal I struck with myself was I have to run for my rosé wine in the summer and run for my red wine in winter. And I don't do it because I feel I have to; I do it for my own discipline and dignity,' she told the publication.
Amanda joked that it's 'all down hill from your 20s' but added that, like Cher, you can 'turn back time' with proper nutrition and exercise.
'I'm from a generation of women who won't [fade into the background] - we'll flaunt our bits for as long as we can. I am certainly going to - even when they're drooping down to the floor, I'll scoop them up again,' she laughed.
Myleene Klass
She soared to fame in the Noughties as a fresh-faced member of hit band Hear'Say and was known for showing off her figure in low-rise skinny jeans.
And two decades on, Myleene Klass has reinvented herself as a fashion-forward guru, modelling an array of edgy and figure-flashing looks.
Previously opening up about how she picks her outfits, the Pure and Simple hitmaker, 47, shared: 'Wear what you feel good in.
'Do not feel the pressure of what somebody may tell you you look great in, if it doesn't necessary suit you or you don't feel comfortable in it.
'Make sure that you've got that confidence in your outfit, because it just emanates from you. And put on that smile – you'll feel good, you'll look good.'
Kate Moss
Back in the early noughties, skinny jeans and black ballet pumps were one of Kate Moss's signature looks, and 20 years on, she still loves the look.
She earned something of a party girl reputation in her youth, and was often seen hitting the club scene of London.
But Kate, 51, has attempted to put her wild ways behind her - having overhauled her lifestyle to stay fit and healthy as she gets older.
Speaking to the Guardian, the Croydon-born model revealed in 2018 she lost an inch off her waist in just 10 days, after taking on a clean diet and finally joining a gym.
The supermodel revealed to the paper that she never used to be conscious of what she ate in her youth, but is amazed by how her detox has affected both her health and skin.

She confessed: 'I've really noticed an improvement since I've been more 'on it' with food – like eating salads and all that stuff - I never used to really eat salads. And now I'm like, juicing!'
Having always despised exercise, the beauty also finally decided to join a gym, and admitted she's 'got quite into it', against all odds.
'I've never been a gym bunny or anything like that,' she said. 'I was always, like, 'UGH', it made me feel ill, but now I've started working out, I'm really quite into it.'
Revealing she even lost weight around her middle in less than two weeks, she added: 'I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I'd never really done before.'
Gaby Roslin
'Shopping in your wardrobe': Showing off her long, lean legs in the stylish number, Gaby revealed in the caption that the old pair of bottoms brought back 'vivid memories'
Gaby Roslin, 61, revealed that she still owns and wears the same pair of jeans that she purchased over fifteen years ago.
The revelation drove her Instagram fans wild as they praised her 'amazing figure' and ability to fit into the old pair of grey exposed zipper jeans.
Gaby showed off her long, lean legs in the stylish number, which she teamed with a matching grey top.
The star captioned the snap: 'Yes! Ultimate happy find #shoppinginyourwardrobe and once again the @jbrandjeans houlihans have an outing. Nothing quite as 'just right' as the originals.
'I think I bought these over 15 years ago and I remember being obsessed... We were weren't we @janebrutonuk It's funny how some items in your wardrobe bring back such very vivid memories.
'That's of course one of the joys of #shoppinginyourwardrobe The other reasons are it's good for your purse and the planet! Happy day everyone,' she concluded.

Madonna pays tribute to Cher in a racy outfit as she goes braless in a semi sheer lace bodysuit

Madonna paid tribute to Cher as she posed for a series of photos wearing a racy outfit on Thursday. The Queen of Pop, 66, went braless in a semi sheer lace bodysuit and stockings with one of Cher's most iconic quotes etched on the thigh. The tights from Saint Sass read: 'Mom, I am a rich man,' with Madonna teaming the statement piece with her lingerie-inspired look. She added a pair of classic stiletto heels and accessorised with a faux fur stole and mesh opera gloves. Speaking in a 1995 interview Cher discussed settling down and recalled: 'My mom said to me: "You know, sweetheart, one day you should settle down and marry a rich man." 'And I said: "Mom, I am a rich man."' Cher continued: 'Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not. 'Women have to harness their power — its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.' 'Women are the real architects of society.' Last month, Madonna sent fans into a frenzy as she teased her upcoming new music in new social media snaps. The Queen of Pop confirmed earlier this year that her upcoming album will be a sequel to her hit 2005 album Confessions On A Dance Floor. Sharing an update to Instagram, she posted a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of her time recording in the studio in London, alongside producer Stuart Price. Sharing an array of snaps, Madonna was seen in the recording studio, putting on a busty display in a lace cami top while hard at work recording her new tracks. Madonna could also be seen wearing a t-shirt which said 'Mother' as she strolled around the Big Smoke. Sharing photos from the studio in February, Madonna was seen sitting behind a drum kit, in others she sings into a microphone and in still others she vamps for the camera in the way only Madonna can. 'My Valentine's Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I'm putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can't wait to share it with you!' she wrote. The new album will be her first since 2019's Madame X.

David Beckham, 50, strips down to tiny trunks to be photographed by wife Victoria and son Cruz on lavish yacht... after being mocked by his kids for his trademark skimpy swimwear

The Beckhams have been enjoying a swanky getaway on their £16m yacht. And the fun continued on Wednesday as father David, 50, got into holiday mood by stripping down to his tiny swimwear to be photographed by son Cruz, 20, and wife Victoria, 51, on the summertime jaunt. A running joke during the holiday has been his cheeky sons Cruz and also Romeo, 22, stealing David's trademark 'budgie smuggler' style. David, whose trip is without their allegedly estranged son Brooklyn, 16, looked as buff as ever in the tiny shorts which gave his kids a run for their money. Victoria was also showing off her figure in a skimpy black swimming costume while protecting her complexion from the sun with a wide-brimmed sun hat. Victoria turned snapper to capture the best shots of her hunky husband in action David was seen readjusting his skimpy ensemble after hitting the high seas Cruz took a hilarious swipe at his father David as he mimicked him once again in a pair of tight white pants that mirrored his dad's underwear campaign on Instagram last week Cruz's look mirrored his dad's recent BOSS underwear campaign David's hard-worked frame was on full display, with his incredible six pack defying his years while his inkings drew the eye further to his frame. Last week, Cruz stripped down to some $550 (£410) white Prada budgie smugglers and frolicked on the sun deck with his bikini-clad girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, before diving into the water. Cruz's look was reminiscent of David's iconic Armani underwear campaigns, where he has previously worn white briefs to show off his muscular frame. He was again joining his parents and Jackie on the high seas, during which the aspiring musician took out his guitar to seranade his girlfriend. Posh and Becks traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea. A source told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything. He was again joining his parents and Jackie on the high seas, during which the aspiring musician took out his guitar to seranade his girlfriend 'It's not an oligarch-style superyacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water. 'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.' Earlier this week, Victoria gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. Brooklyn is the only Beckham child not on the getaway, having spent the week before in the same location with his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and his in-laws. The eldest Beckham son looked to be missing out on a fun-filled trip, as the other offspring made the most of their trip together. Brooklyn left the south of France to return to the U.S, where he was spotted looking glum on an outing in New York with his wife and mother-in-law, Claudia, on Tuesday. Cruz enjoyed a moment alone on the boat

Amaarae: Black Star review – ​glamour, glitz and lust from a pop star who should be a supernova

Fountain Baby, the second album by Amaarae, was a revelation – a sensual, funny, frank and musically dense record released in 2023 that established the 31-year-old Ghanaian American pop musician as a cultural force to match contemporaries such as Rosalía and Charli xcx. Although the songs are hedonistic – largely oscillating between wry flexes of wealth and lyrics about trifling with, and being trifled by, women in her orbit – she is also a realist: actions have consequences in Amaarae's world, such as on Reckless & Sweet, as she wonders whether her lovers desire her or merely her money. Despite the ingenuity and complexity of her music, Amaarae has struggled to break into the mainstream, in the UK at least. A recent Glastonbury set felt sparsely attended and, aside from 2020's Sad Girlz Luv Money, one of the most enduring viral hits to emerge from TikTok into the real world, few of her singles have had crossover moments. Hopefully that will change with Black Star, her sleek and hugely enjoyable third album. It requires a slight resetting of expectations. After the plainly radical Fountain Baby, perhaps Amaarae would become downright experimental, but Black Star makes it clear that she just wants to have fun. This is her take on a club record, weaving elements of house, trance and EDM into Afrobeats rhythms and spiky rap cadences. It's more straightforward than its predecessor, but that doesn't diminish its pleasure, derived in large part from Amaarae's relentless pursuit of just that: these songs exalt drinking, drug‑taking, rowdy sex and fine dressing in such a clarified, unapologetic way that they would elicit blushes even from the Weeknd, pop's reigning king of smut. You can imagine Amaarae's bass-heavy but elegant music soundtracking a dark, exclusive superclub, a fitting mode for a musician who prioritises opulence and indulgence in her music. Starkilla, a collaboration with the London rapper Bree Runway, is a villainous-sounding house track the hook of which is simply 'ketamine, coke and molly' over and over again; the slick crush-object song B2B combines pulsating electro with the euphoric chug of South African amapiano. There is a remarkable amount of other dance styles explored here: high-speed dembow and baile funk animate Girlie-Pop!; there are elements of Detroit techno and gqom, another South African style, on SMO; and the opener, Stuck Up, features raucous club rap. Even if it's a more traditional record overall, her globalist attitude makes for sparky, cosmopolitan music. The focus of Amaarae's lyrics hasn't changed significantly, although Black Star is a softer and more lovestruck album than its predecessor. On Kiss Me Thru the Phone Pt 2, a PinkPantheress-featuring sequel to the Soulja Boy original, Amaarae and PinkPantheress sing sweetly about 'yearning for you to the bone', their twinned helium voices sounding surprisingly great together. Fineshyt, the best song here, is a gentle trance track that captures the innate sense of melancholy in the much-maligned genre, Amaarae singing about wanting to try a real relationship with her object of affection. These songs provide a welcome counterpoint to the abrasive posturing of earlier ones, which have Amaarae and guests – including Naomi Campbell – mugging and boasting to admittedly great effect. Campbell's appearance is eyebrow-raising: 'They call me a bitch, a villain, controversial diva – no, I am the black star,' she intones, which will probably inflame the many people still up in arms over Campbell's misdeeds, ranging from assault convictions to the alleged mismanagement of a charity (which she denies). But it's fitting for an album that is deliriously in love with wealth, celebrity and all the power it affords. There is a difference between Amaarae and all the other stars fixated on such topics: for her, glamour is a side quest and love is the motive. Shopping at Saks and being passed another blunt might be nice, Amaarae seems to say, but the real high comes from finding someone to share it with. Wild Pink and Fenne Lily: Disintegrate – Edit Wild Pink's John Ross is one of the best lyricists in indie music. The deluxe reissue of his fantastic Dulling the Horns promises plenty of great reinterpretations of his bizarro images, including this soft take on Disintegrate by the English folk singer Fenne Lily.
