Tess Daly..had no idea, how amazing does she look for 52, ten years older than me. Just been reading she had her girls later in life too, they just don’t look like an ‘In their 50’s family’ 🤷🏻‍♀️
Are we all living longer nowadays? Is 50 actually the new 40 and 40 the new 30?

She does look great and is attractive, but tbh, although she doesn't look 52, she doesn't look MUCH younger, not when you look close. She could pass for 44/45, but not much less than that.

The vast majority of people look their age - within 7-8 years (either side.)

Why wouldn't you look your age? And what is wrong with looking your age?

RedMarauder · 30/10/2021 20:21

Tess Daly's job is to look younger. Her entire career is based on it. I rather be someone like Mary Berry or Mary Beard where my "talent" isn't my looks.

carpetbugs · 30/10/2021 20:23

She looks amazing but I don't think she representative of what most 52 yr olds or 32 yrs old look like even in celeb land.

picklemewalnuts · 30/10/2021 20:24

She's always been a beautiful woman.

TheVolturi · 30/10/2021 20:26

Hi Tess! 🤣 Joking, yeah she's gorgeous. I used to like Vernon as well until all the glamour model crap.

PuppyMonkey · 30/10/2021 20:27

People absolutely hate Tess Daly on here, it’s really funny to see them froth - but I agree she doesn’t look her age at all and she’s wearing much nicer dresses these days. And I don’t think she’s as terrible as folk make out at her presenting job either.

But the haters will be here soon so… Grin

WhatsWrongWithMyUsername · 30/10/2021 20:28

Wow! I’d have said she was about 45, and even then only because I know she wasn’t super young 10+ years ago.

Doesntfeellikehalloween · 30/10/2021 20:28

@TheVolturi Yes, I’m Tess, posting whilst hosting a live tv show on BBC 1 🤣
I love Vernon too

I just think she looks a fair bit younger.,early 40’s?

I love Claudia too

@PuppyMonkey Ohh I see, why? 🤣
Yes, I haven’t really thought about her as a person or presenter, just saw she was 52 and was like 😮
I much prefer Claudia though

TheVolturi · 30/10/2021 20:32

I'm 40 and wish I looked as good as her I don't mind saying it!

frumpety · 30/10/2021 20:32

I was suprised that Claudia is younger than Tess.

the80sweregreat · 30/10/2021 20:32

I think she is beautiful
I prefer Claudia for her wacky personality.
I would be happy to look like either of them !!
:)

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 30/10/2021 20:32

I think she looks a very polished woman and not particularly surprised she's 52, that's not exactly ancient.

Doesntfeellikehalloween · 30/10/2021 20:33

@frumpety Yes! me too. Not trying to be offensive in that

My DD would have been named Tess .... if it hadn't been for Tess Daley!
However, as much as I really dislike her (as a presenter) I cannot say many negative things about her - looks and style wise!
She looks great (naturally?) and dresses age appropriately imo.

Doesntfeellikehalloween · 30/10/2021 20:33

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor Of course it’s not ancient, I just put her at maybe 43/44

carpetbugs · 30/10/2021 20:36

I actually don't like her style, much prefer Claudia's but she looks fantastic.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 30/10/2021 20:36

She looks amazing. So many celebs looking great in their 50’s.

PaperMonster · 30/10/2021 20:36

I’m 52 and that always shocks people as they usually think I’m ten years younger. But I don’t look as good as Tess!!

carpetbugs · 30/10/2021 20:37

JLo also looks amazing in her 50s

Whitewolf2 · 30/10/2021 20:38

I think she looks amazing for over 50, she’s a beautiful woman with has fantastic genes! Though the personal trainer, chef, make up artists etc probably help a bit too!

Doesntfeellikehalloween · 30/10/2021 20:38

@carpetbugs Yes, I much prefer Claudia’s style too, plus the fringe and eye make up, which lots don’t seem to like! I loved her in that jumpsuit, last week I think it was

Doesntfeellikehalloween · 30/10/2021 20:39

@Whitewolf2 😅Does she really have all that though?

OP posts:
Doesntfeellikehalloween · 30/10/2021 20:39

Has she had surgery? She doesn’t look as frozen for example as Amanda Holden
