She’s 51 and looks like she’s in her 30s naturally, with no cosmetic intervention other than make up IMHO. How?!

She has really bloody expensive extensions at Lucinda Ellery Wink

Comfortzone · 05/12/2020 20:40

Maybe she just has a grounded, settled, outlook on life? She's not pretentious chasing celeb limelight, she's family orientated and loves her man.

Also probably loves to buy nice clothes and perfume like most of us on here?!

Maybe it's as simple as she sleeps a lot, drinks tons of water, runs 5km each day and just doesn't stress in life. Surprisingly such simple things done regularly can make you you look well ( and expensive lol)

JauntyMcGinty · 05/12/2020 20:40

She looks amazing, naturally gorgeous whatever work she's had done. She's still a pretty duff presenter though.

user1471462428 · 05/12/2020 20:41

She’s beautiful but the outfit they put her and Claudia in are horrendous. Half her dress was missing tonight and Claudia looked like £50 Cher impersonator in a empty night club.

Can't imagine a group of males commenting on Vernon like this btw - how does he look so well he must have had work done etc

They'd probably say good on you Vernon for looking so well.

Females can be strange much of the time with their competitive preening and comments about how their fellow gender 'looks' or gets to look a certain way. Why is this still a thing? Yawn.

If only she could have surgery on her voice! So grating.

PrincessConsuelaBH · 05/12/2020 20:45

@Fluffycloudland77

If I was married to a man like that I’d keep myself looking fit too.
Because he's prone to a wandering eye?
JauntyMcGinty · 05/12/2020 20:45

My guess is Vernon has had all the same work done. Met him a couple of years ago and he's in very good nick for his age...

CounsellorTroi · 05/12/2020 20:45

@PlanDeRaccordement

She’s had fillers, Botox, tummy tuck. You can see her face has changed.
Yes. I thought she looked a bit different right at the start of this Strictly series.
InFiveMins · 05/12/2020 20:46

I don't think she's had surgery. I think she LOOKS 51, but an amazing 51. She's beautiful, elegant - good make up, good figure, good hair... I think she's fab Grin

JauntyMcGinty · 05/12/2020 20:47

The reason women like Tess have work done is because of threads like this. It's self fulfilling.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 05/12/2020 20:50

I'm rather jealous of her at the moment having somewhat fallen for lovely Vernon in the castle...

BungleandGeorge · 05/12/2020 20:51

‘willowy’ people actually usually age worse. I can’t believe people think it’s possible to look 25 with no intervention at all! Nobody looked like that before Botox and fillers however rich!

MrsGrindah · 05/12/2020 20:51

I’m 51 and I look like that . No, really.

Vernon was caught sexting five younger woman across a period of years. She’d have to be ridiculously chilled to not have gone through horrendous stress over that. Especially as it was all so public - he apologised to her on air.

Very true. Her hair is only hers because she bought it.

been putting off Botox for many years as I think it looks obvious on most people from those I’ve seen.

how do you know who had it and who hadn't? that's the point. If it's well done, and done early, it's not that obvious. Look at someone who started young like Kate Middleton?

Look at Gwen Stefani, she does wear heavy make-up but I think she looks pretty amazing too.

Not about TD but Strictly it Takes Two, they recently invited an Italian band on the programme,Amorata they were called or similar, specialising in music from Southern Italy. These musicians asked about payment, and the BBC said they could not afford to pay them, but their appearance on the show would boost their profile ! Their profile for what??? Session musicians have no other work atm, as public venues are closed. Their request to be paid was reasonable, but the BBC dropped them like a hot brick rather than pay them anything. Yet the BBC can pay talentless people like TD to flounce around in Botox bliss.

JaneJeffer · 05/12/2020 20:55

Of course she's had stuff done.

SendHelp30 · 05/12/2020 20:57

She is absolutely beautiful!

HotSince63 · 05/12/2020 20:57

She's had lots of very subtle cosmetic work. She knows when enough is enough with the botox and fillers and has never gone that step too far (yet).

Money and time to have regular facials and purchase top of the range, tailored skincare products, will have helped too.

She looks fabulous.

NoPainNoTartine · 05/12/2020 20:59

Even Tom Cruise had work done, and he is super fit. What's wrong with that?

We are lucky to have very easy access to affordable hair dresser, botox technicians, dentists... why on earth would you not use them if you wish to?

The times of cosmetic help being reserved to the super rich is long gone. Some women pay for their nails, others have a few fillers here and there. Good for them. No one has seen my natural hair colour in years Grin
