Two people who irrationally irritate me are Floella Benjamin and Anthea Turner and I have absolutely no idea why? Grin

I agree though, she looks fantastic and never seems to age.

Some people just age well! Others don’t... especially those with very pale skin (who go wrinkly and transparent).

I just googled her, I don’t think she looks anything like 30. She looks younger than she did in older pictures but I think it’s more to do with fashion and styling. She does look younger than her age I agree.

I don't know but I just googled her and looked on her website and I hadn't realised she had a private members bill asking for a certificate for loss in miscarriage or stillbirth and for that I salute her.

Did she have those polomint looking earrings on?

Mine are michaela strachan and Louise Redknapp.

Worry I'm with you on Anthea Turner.
I swear Floella looked younger on Cbeebies tonight than she did 10 years ago! I want to know her secret Grin

I thought that when I saw her being interviewed about the (brilliant) things she's been able to do as a member of the House of Lords.

I will never forget reading an article about her and she said she whipped her French knickers off and gave them to her crying child, because DC had forgotten or lost their comforter, and I still don’t know how I feel about that - but she looks amazing Grin

I have just Googled her now , she looks no different to how she did when she presented play school.when I was a child and even I'm 45Confused

Baroness Benjamin, have some respect!

SusanWalker · 24/01/2019 19:48

I love Floella. She was on that women driving cars thing on radio 4 the other week and was saying how when she first came here as a child grown men used to lift up the back of her skirt and say where's your tail monkey. And now she sits in the house of lords.

She has a lovely laugh and I reckon she'd be great to go out for an evening with.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 24/01/2019 19:58

I remember her as a children's tv presenter, and now she's in the House of Lords. Is it possible that I have missed a step or two in her career? Grin

I can't figure out how Shobna Gulati is 52!
