Loose Women's Mariella Frostrup takes BRUTAL swipe at Demi Moore, 62, for 'trying to look like she's in her 20s' - swiping 'how terrified of aging must you be to do that much to yourself'
Loose Women 's Mariella Frostrup took a brutal swipe at Demi Moore for 'trying to look like she's in her 20s' during Thursday's episode of the ITV show.
The panel - consisting of Mariella, 62, Kaye Adams, 62, Denise Welch, 67, and Nadia Sawalha, 60 - returned to the live studio to talk about a number of topics, including Denise's 67th birthday.
After the second advert break, Kaye pointed out that today (Thursday 22 May) is her special day and it got the group talking about what being a woman in your 60s looks like in 2025.
Kaye pointed that in terms of looks, she thinks that times have changed 'so much', adding: 'Demi Moore saying it's just not what it used to be.'
Later on in the chat, Mariella said: 'You mentioned Demi Moore there for example, I would not take advice from Demi Moore about how to behave or how to age in your 60s.
'I think she looks like she's trying to look like she's in her 20s.

'The expectation on women, particularly as they age, to keep looking as young as they can be.
'I think it's so, so, toxic.
'Ultimately you're constantly feel like you're failing because you do age and there's nothing you can do about it.
'I guess you can go and have your face stretched.
'But actually it's going to fall down a bit and then don't be giving advice to people about how to age if you're so terrified of aging that you need to do that much work to yourself.'
Actress Demi - who is now 62 - shot to fame in the 70s and has a very successful career.
Speaking about aging at the Time100 Submit last month, Demi said: 'I think that there was a sense of things ending at a certain point as opposed to the reality, which is just that we're evolving, it's not ending.'
'I also have thought recently about this idea that aging and being old are not the same thing.
'And somehow we've confused that and that aging actually is a tremendous gift.'
She added: 'I would not trade — you could not pay me to be 21.
'As good as it might sound, it was torture!'
It comes after Denise Welch left Wednesday's Loose Women panel lost for words after a rude comment about her appearance when a beauty debate took an outrageous turn.
Anchor Christine spoke about Dame Judy Dench's recent live sculpture, and Judy later revealed that she doesn't have a relationship with her face, and her daughter isn't a fan of looking in the mirror.
Denise confessed that she thinks she's had a such a 'wonderful career which is based on everything except her looks, whereas some people's is based on their looks', and she noted that she understands where she is coming from.
She went on to say: 'I remember when I was 50, a long time ago, somebody said to me, I think it was George Bernard Shaw, not that he said to me, but somebody told me...
'They said George Bernard Shaw said when you get to 50, you've got the face you deserve.

The actress confessed that there is one part of her face that she's not happy with - her neck - and she had a crude name for it
'I remember thinking I deserve a far worse one.
'So I am glad to just have one that's functioning, honestly the abuse I've done to my face over the year. I'm okay with it.
'I can't bare this vagina neck I've got going on.
'That's what I'd get rid of. I'm okay.'
Giggling away to herself, Christine asked: 'Did you come up with that terminology?'
Denise said: 'No my friend Jackie said I've got f**ny neck... Sorry...
'Can I not say that?'

Hidden gem BBC period drama dubbed ‘better than Downton Abbey' returns to screens a whopping 18 years after original broadcast
An overlooked diamond from the BBC archive has received acclaim from watchers, who have compared it to the multi-award-winning Downton Abbey - a titan of British TV. Lilies, which premiered in 2007, had an eight-episode run, and followed the story of three sisters living with their father and brother in post-WWI Liverpool. Iris (played by Catherine Tyldesley), Mary (Leanne Rowe) and Ruby Moss (Kerrie Hayes) come of age in a family living on the breadline. The sisters, though vastly different, go through the simultaneous experience of launching their adult lives for the first time, navigating poverty, passion and prejudice. The show was the brainchild of Heidi Thomas (creator of Call the Midwife), who was inspired to write it from the stories that her grandmother told her of growing up in post-war Liverpool. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The show is close to home for Thomas, with some aspects being a raw, direct televisation of her grandmother's anecdotes. 'The end result is not a series about my family,' she notes, 'but a series about the family that might have lived next door.' 'There's not one single episode that doesn't contain something handed down in anecdote.' The series was praised for its compelling storyline and strong performance, however, it was not renewed past eight episodes, with the last episode to date airing on February 29, 2007. Producer Chrissy Skinns, whose credentials include The Last Kingdom, A Spy Among Friends and Elizabeth is Missing, was instantly mesmerised by the script once it crossed her desk. 'The Lilies scripts were quite unlike anything I had read before,' she said. 'They were funny, surprising, and made me cry. Above all else, I knew that the Mosses were a family I instantly cared about, and wanted to spend time with.' Fans are equally as mesmerised, with one rating it 10/10 on IMDB, penning: 'This series is brilliantly written and beautifully realized. Like Heidi Thomas' more recent effort CALL THE MIDWIFE, it seems coy, but tackles difficult topics head-on and without blinking. 'This was such a massive hit in the UK that a fervent campaign for more seasons resulted in nearly a year of developmental meetings and script experiments. In the end, it was decided not to tamper with it, it's that perfect' Another wrote: 'I came across this at the small local library near where I live and it had such a high imdb rating that I had to check it out---and I'm glad I did. 'Connected stories of a families troubles in England, 1920. It was so well written that you find yourself rooting for the different characters, and their setbacks tug at your emotions. Looking at the film extra's section after I viewed it, I was surprised to see how they made the set because it all seemed so realistic.' Viewers have gushed that the show even supersedes the quality of Julian Fellowes' hit ITV series Downton Abbey, which was released three years later, in 2010.

GK Barry flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a TINY thong bikini as she soaks up the sun with gorgeous girlfriend Ella Rutherford amid their romantic Greek getaway
GK Barry flaunted her jaw-dropping figure amid her romantic Crete getaway with gorgeous girlfriend Ella Rutherford on Monday. The Loose Women star, 25, who has been dating the professional footballer, also 25, since early 2024, slipped into a skimpy bikini to climb the famous Kourtaliotiko Gorge and swim in its stunning lagoon. GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, looked sensational while frolicking in the water in the tiny white two piece which boasted a triangular top and racy thong. Meanwhile Ella also showed off her own svelte physique in a busty bikini top and swimming shorts as the pair put on a romantic display. GK captioned the snaps: 'No one tells you it's around 6,000 steps to get to the waterfall and the water is -50 degrees x' to which Ella replied: 'Was worth every step'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple were no doubt celebrating GK's new career move after she landed a spot on BBC Radio 1's schedule this summer. The star will present her very own show for the entire month of July after BBC bosses announced a schedule shakeup. GK will host Radio 1's afternoon show from July 4 and will be on air from 1pm to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday. Speaking about her new gig, GK told MailOnline: 'I'm really excited to be presenting my own show with BBC Radio 1 this summer. It's totally different to podcasting and I'm ready to get stuck in! 'As someone who travels a lot for work I'm always listening to the radio, so I can't wait to interact with the listeners and get them involved in all the fun.' Teasing her new show, the BBC said the TiKToker will be joined by 'special guests' who will co-host the programme alongside her. In April Ella shared a rare insight into her relationship with the TV star, admitting 'she's changed my life for the better'. Speaking on talkSPORT's The Kickback, Ella said: 'She [GK Barry] really just became, straight away, as soon as I met her, that rock - that I obviously had with family and stuff but I think it's different when you've got a partner and you're going home to them every night. GK captioned the snaps: 'No one tells you it's around 6,000 steps to get to the waterfall and the water is -50 degrees x' to which Ella replied: 'Was worth every step' 'She's been a massive part of why I'm so happy on the outside if people do see that. Since I met her, she's changed my life for the better.' Ella added: 'She's flourished into her wag era. She's cooking dinners and enjoying just coming to the game with her prosecco. 'She hasn't got a clue what's going on. I asked "babe what do you do when I'm playing?" and she's just like "I just watch you". 'Sometimes she'll say like "that was a free kick" and she'll know a corner but I do need to sit her down. 'At the start I was banging my head because she didn't know what goal we were scoring in or what team we were - I said "we're wearing all blue babe you need to just look at our team". 'But she's come on, bless her. That's nice for me as well because she really does try to understand it as well as me understanding what she does and supporting her. 'She's been a massive support for me this year so that's been nice.' GK previously admitted she was 'terrified' of first meeting Ella as she hadn't yet dated a woman after coming out. She said: 'I knew I was bi, but I was really scared to date a woman. It was territory I'd never been in. I was really terrified to meet Ella. We had a mutual friend. 'I looked at her Instagram and I thought, "look at the calves on that! There's no way I'm letting her go." So I plucked up the courage and went on a date.' The couple are now happier than ever, with Grace adding: 'It was the best decision ever. We have been inseparable since. We live together now. Sometimes she does drive me up the wall, but with love, of course.'

Our favourite seaside towns that are less than 90 minutes from London with Banksy art and award-winning beaches
BORED of the concrete jungle views over London when the sun is out? Well, here are our favourite destinations for a day trip, and they are all less than two hours away from the capital. 8 8 Folkestone, Kent I could hardly talk about amazing seaside towns without mentioning my hometown of Folkestone. From being named a trending place to live by TimeOut, to being dubbed the new Brighton (being both arty and less than an hour from London - 54 minutes to be exact) there has never been a better time to visit. New restaurants and bars are popping up, including the new Med restaurant Cavella on the popular Harbour Arms, as well as the upcoming small-plate restaurant Pomus after success in Margate. Two new playgrounds including the huge adventure park Lower Leas Coastal Park are being renovated, with the town's unique funicular set to reopen next year. It has its own Banksy, hidden sandy beaches and trendy hotels to stay the night - what more could you want? If you need entertaining, there is The Board Room for shuffleboard and darts, or the Harbour Screen with live shows and films (and some nearby live music). My top tips? Head to Burrito Buoy for a frozen margarita, grab a delicious pizza over at Brewing Brothers, and end your night at The Old Buoy pub. You'll be well fed and watered, and make a few local mates along the way… - Kara Godfrey, Deputy Travel Editor Brighton, East Sussex When people think of beach day trips from London, Brighton comes to their mind immediately for good reason. Only an hour on the train, the seaside city has often been associated with YouTubers over the years. Yet the destination is loved for many reasons. From the narrow alleys with quaint shops, great ice cream spots and the iconic i360 with breathtaking panoramic views - Brighton really does provide something for everyone. Top 5 Beaches in the UK 8 The history is there too, with the iconic pier still open today and full of classic arcade games and the old pier - of which remains only still stand. The beach itself has pretty pebbles, a long-stretching promenade and pretty townhouses. Sit next to the pier just as Georgia does in Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, whilst listening to waves crash, with a classic Mr Whippy in hand with a 99 flake as seagulls circle overhead - a quintessentially British experience that feels like a day out set in the 60s. And if that wasn't enough to draw you there - Brighton is super dog friendly, so is a great day away from the city for your four-legged friend - Cyann Fielding, Travel Reporter Broadstairs, Kent You're spoilt for choice when it comes to a beach sunbathe in the historic Kent coastal gem, Broadstairs - which is an hour and 20 minutes away from London by train. There's seven sandy coves to explore, all linked by clifftop paths that offer spectacular views across the English Channel. Among the most popular is the main beach at Viking Bay, but Stone Bay is a good alternative if you're looking to escape the crowds. It's as traditional a British seaside resort as they come with imposing Victorian buildings sitting alongside fisherman's cottages. Author Charles Dickens had a summer home at Broadstairs for more than 20 years in the middle of the 19th century and it had a significant influence on his writing, particularly the novel David Copperfield. The Dickens House Museum offers an illuminating insight into his life and works. But this is very much still a bustling, seaside resort with lots of family-friendly fun including arcades and rides. And it's becoming a bit of a foodie mecca too. Twenty Seven Harbour Street has stunning views and tasty treats cooked over fire. And a must-visit is Morelli's - it's been serving up traditional gelato since 1932. The fabulous Art Deco interior is beaten only just by the stunning sundaes - Lisa Minot, Head of Travel 8 Rye, East Sussex The medieval town of Rye in East Sussex isn't strictly seaside, but you can see the sea from its cobble streets and it has a harbour where boats sail out to the English Channel. Plus, if you go back as far as the 15th century, the sea came much closer to the foot of the hill the town is built on. It's the perfect place to spend a day out - taking an hour and six minutes on the train from Kings Cross St Pancras. If you fancy a morning on the beach, a bus runs from the town to the stunning Camber Sands beach - a three-mile stretch of golden sand backed by dunes. Or you can for a six-mile circular walk from Rye to Winchelsea beach. Back in the town after lunch, there are plenty of fantastic pubs to choose from, my favourites being the 12th century Mermaid Inn and the George In Rye, as well as the Globe Inn Marsh on the outskirts of the town. Equally, you could book a taxi and check out Tillingham vineyard in nearby Peasmarsh, with its Michelin Green Star wine tours and excellent pizzas. Make sure to save some time to rummage through the many, many antiques shops, as well as Knoops hot chocolate shop and the wonderfully old fashioned Britcher and Rivers sweet shop - Caroline McGuire, Head of Travel (Digital) 8 Frinton-on-Sea, Essex I, like many others believe Frinton-on-Sea to be the more chilled out and luxe sister of Clacton. Slightly further up the coast Frinton in Essex has a huge sweeping beach that is lined with the classic brightly coloured beach huts - a mark of any beach day trip. The best part is that on the Greater Anglia route, you can get from London to Frinton in an hour and a half. The beach at Frinton is award-winning, having scooped up a Blue Flag award and Tripadvisor's Travellers Choice Award in 2024. You can easily walk from from Frinton to Walton-on-the-Naze too, it's an easy walk along the promenade and you get to see the clock tower on the way over. All-in-all, it takes around 40 minutes to get there. 8 After such a walk, you might need to quench your thirst after a day of building sand castles and paddling in the sea, there is a pub called the Lock & Barrel. Down Connaught Avenue surrounded by independent shops, art studios and boutiques is the first and only pub in Frinton. For anyone wanting an ice cream, you don't find them along the beach front because they're not allowed. For more days out, have a look at the best value attractions around the UK. And here, the National Trust reveals their best free attractions to visit this summer – from sky gardens to 'city oasis' parks. 8
