Anthea Turner, 64, reveals the secret to her age-defying looks - and it's not what you think
Anthea Turner has now revealed the secret to her age-defying looks in a brand new interview – but it's not what you might expect.
The TV presenter, 64, who recently returned from a dreamy break at Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia with her fiancé Mark Armstrong, looked radiant during an exclusive catch-up with OK! - but her glow isn't just thanks to the Caribbean sunshine.
When asked what her secret is, Anthea revealed that her skincare brand's Balm 6 product keeps her skin 'hydrated and in good shape.' However, she also occasionally gets Botox.
She told the publication: 'Well, Balm 6 obviously keeps my skin hydrated and in good shape. But I still have Botox, which can be amazing if used properly.
'I can still frown a bit, but I haven't looked properly angry since I was about 40! I have a tiny bit of filler in my cheeks.
'I've used IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for years to manage pigmentation on my face, neck and chest, and I wear factor 30 to 50 on my face, chest and hands every day.
The star also revealed she has microneedling treatments with Lynton, a laser company, which she highly recommends.
With her 65th birthday just a few weeks away, Anthea shared that ageing doesn't bother her in the slightest.
She said it 'doesn't bother me' - but it's people's reactions to ageing that can be the real issue.
She added that her generation 'really changed the world,' and so much has evolved - including how generational lines have blurred. For example, there's no longer a clear divide in fashion, which she believes is 'brilliant'.
Twice-married Anthea has been engaged to Mark since 2019, though they have yet to tie the knot.
When asked about wedding plans, she explained that COVID-19 disrupted everything - and tragically, both Mark's mum and her own mum passed away.
She added that two of her stepdaughters got married soon after, so their own wedding plans were put on the back burner - but she insisted they'll still get around to it.
She also said that their recent Saint Lucia trip was especially important, explaining: 'It's so easy to lose each other if you're not careful.'
A holiday, she said, gives you the space to reconnect - and she truly cherishes her relationship with Mark.
Elsewhere in the interview, Anthea spoke lovingly about becoming a 'glam-ma.'
Her stepdaughter, Claudia Bovey, recently welcomed a baby boy named Dexter, and Anthea shared the happy news on Instagram with a heartfelt message to Claudia and her partner, James.
Posting a sweet snap of her grandson, Anthea captioned the post: 'Claudia Bovey you are a star ⭐️
'Love you James for making her so happy Dexter is beautiful. Hugs and Kisses forever.
She concluded: 'Granny Anth' alongside several emojis.

Meghan's huge royal clash as new glitzy outing comes on same day as major event
While the royal family will be celebrating the King's official birthday with the Trooping the Colour procession on Saturday, Meghan Markle will be at an event of her own in California As the Royal Family prepares for Trooping the Colour, Meghan Markle is planning her own big night out in California. The Duchess of Sussex has been confirmed as the guest of honour at a museum's Night of Wonder black-tie event in California, on the same day as the King's official birthday celebrations in London. The diary clash will see Meghan be honoured for her charity work, which focuses on advancing community wellbeing and expanding opportunities for disadvantaged people, particularly those from underprivileged and minority communities. The event, where Meghan will give a speech about her work, will take place at the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, California, where the royal couple has called home for the past five years since stepping back from their royal duties. Meghan will be joined by other high-profile guests at the museum on June 14, with the space being transformed into an enchanted nocturnal garden. The exclusive event will feature live music and installations representing local ecosystems and the LA landscape, and guests will be treated to a farm-to-table dinner that uses ingredients from the museum's nature gardens. While it has not yet been confirmed if Prince Harry will also be attending the museum's charity night, he often accompanies his wife to public events where she gives speeches. Ahead of the event, Lori Bettison-Varga, the President and Director of the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, said: "We are proud to honour Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, a native Angeleno, whose work to advance community wellbeing and expand opportunity – especially for underserved communities – aligns with our equity-focused approach to developing science literacy for the next generation." The Office of Prince Harry and Meghan added that Meghan's mission to advance community wellbeing and uplift young women 'dovetails with the museums' approach to connecting community and science by fostering meaningful educational experiences that empower young minds.' On the same day of the exclusive event at the Los Angeles museum, the Royal family will be taking to the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour to celebrate the King's birthday. The Trooping the Colour event, which takes place every year in June, has been held to mark the sovereign's official birthday since the accession of King George IV in 1820, except during the world wars and a national strike in 1955. In 2020, a scaled-back version of the celebration was held at Windsor Castle due to the Covid pandemic. Trooping the Colour 2025, officially known as The King's Birthday Parade, will take place on Saturday June 14 in London. Prince Harry and Meghan have not attended the event in an official capacity since 2019, although Meghan was seen watching the military procession from Horse Guards Parade during the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. Harry and Meghan announced they would be stepping back as senior members of the royal family in January 2020, and have been living in Montecito, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, ever since.

Katie Price fans 'concerned' as she performs in skimpy outfit after latest procedure
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Katie Price put on a dazzling performance on stage Saturday (June 7) as she wowed fans at Portsmouth Pride. Performing her songs including 'A Whole New World' - her past duet with ex-husband Peter Andre, Katie Price was joined on the bill by stars including Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, Sabrina Washington of Mis-Teeq fame, and Ella Morgan – notably linked to Price's beau, JJ Slater from Married At First Sight. Donning a risqué black bodysuit paired with a glittery hat spelling out 'PRICEY', Katie was a showstopper, flaunting her iconic assets and recently plumped up behind after undergoing a filler procedure she broadcasted live on social media in May. Yet as clips from her set made it to TikTok, users of the platform couldn't help but remark on her slender figure. On X, meanwhile, others voicing their concerns, including one person who declared: "I'm worried about Katie Price." While another simply reacted: "Oh dear." And echoing those sentiments, a third X user reflected: "I feel sorry for her, as it doesn't look like she has people around her that have her best interest at heart, by giving her sound advice. It's not funny, it's horrible." It's not the first time social media users have shown concern for the mum-of-five in recent times. In January this year, one tweeted: "Katie Price just popped up on my Instagram and I am so concerned. Maybe she's been like this for a while but is anyone looking out for her? She looks so unwell." It comes after fans admitted they were concerned over Katie's "frailty" earlier this year, after she shared her video of herself in a tracksuit. "Her friends and family are worried about her as she has lost a lot of weight very quickly, and she wants to go back under the knife for more work," a source told OK! at the time. The source elaborated: "She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she's not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table." (Image: Paul Jacobs/ Despite such concerns, Katie went through with enhancing her posterior in May. In a candid Snapchat update that same month, Katie addressed her followers about her weight loss - explaining that it had been wholly intentional after a foot injury and IVF attempts had led to weight gain. "Yes, I've lost weight," she confirmed. "Yes, that's what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Meanwhile, in a conversation with Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong It's Right podcast last summer, Katie admitted she thought she had body dysmorphia – a mental health disorder characterised by an individual's fixation on perceived defects in their appearance. Katie voiced her intention to have more cosmetic procedures because she'd "never thought she was pretty."
