Yes, I wondered if I was losing it. I'm sure she was on the telly when I was at school - I'll be 33 in a couple of weeks.

So, how old is she?

Portofino · 29/01/2009 22:45

Well I was watching her on Big Breakfast in 1992/3. Could she have been 18 then? Probably not.....

Ithink she must be 37 or 38, but according to all the latest news says she was born may 1974, which makes her a couple of weeks younger than me

Sure she was on telly when I was at school too.

sheesh we had this conversation earlier

dp said she must have been '14 when she went out with jayKay'

34 my arse

Portofino · 30/01/2009 06:24

Wiki entry says 1974 too

And that she didn't join BB til 1996 - so I was wrong....

I recall Denis Norden (remember him?) reminiscing that when he was an 18 year old runner for a movie company he was madly in love with Joan Collins and adored her from afar. But of course she was a movie star and he a mere runner, not to mention the fact that she was well into her twenties and never going to give a boy like him a second glance.

He was bemused that fifty years later she was now considerably younger than him.

Geri Halliwell used to be older than me but now claims she is 34 (I am 35 weep).

Stretch · 30/01/2009 23:05

wiki

Says Geri is 36, 37 in Aug!

docket · 31/01/2009 15:30

caprice has been 29 for at least 10 years

Lulumama · 31/01/2009 15:33

girl i went to school with who is an actress is now 2 years younger than she used to be

duchesse · 31/01/2009 15:48

I know for a fact that Stephen Mangan was not born in 1972...

dawniedonut · 03/02/2009 13:50

Davina McCall and I are now the same age (40), when for years she was about 4 years older than me. Amazing.

AliceTheCamelHasGotTheHump · 03/02/2009 13:53

I see Geri has already been mentioned. My dh commented a while ago that he remembered when she was older than him.

undercovercarrot · 03/02/2009 16:32

I think Angelina Jolie looks older than 33...

MrsMattie · 03/02/2009 16:35

That Zoe Lucker one who used to be in Footballers Wives. She was 29 for about 5 years. More like 39.

And the skinny big titted one from Emmerdale who claims to be about 30 (Charity?Chastity?). Yeah, right.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 16:39

Ulrika was apparently 41 in celeb BB. She was a weather girl in the 80's so the BBC must have had her in on a youth training scheme then.

SobranieCocktail · 03/02/2009 16:43

I'm sure Patsy Kensit must be older than 40.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 17:13

I was going to mention her as well.

According to wiki Tess daly is 40 this year. I would have put her younger! espec younger than DvO and Davina

MrsMattie · 03/02/2009 17:43

I think Tess Daly looks great for her age, too! i thought she was early-mid 30s max.

Angelina has always been a year or two older than me (I'm 3, nearly 32)

Agree with Patsy, though. She was 39 for about 5 yrs, too

MrsMattie · 03/02/2009 17:43

31 - not 3, obviously

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/02/2009 17:49

A certain reasonably famous actress (I can't mention her as I know people who are still friends with her) is publicised as being the same age as me..when strangely she was 2 years above me at school....

prettybird · 03/02/2009 18:02

I always thought that Demi Moore was older than me - but she is actually a year and a half younger.

I think she just started younger than I thought - and I can remember her as a yound adult when I too was a young adult.
