Fromage frayed
100 YEARS YOUNGER IN 21 DAYS
ITV, 9pm YOU might think you’ve seen it all, until you witness exEastender Sid Owen smearing his entire body in goat’s cheese while sitting in a milk Jacuzzi.
Yes, there have been some surprising moments in this series, which has seen celebrities battle to shave years off their brains, bodies and face ages.
Sid, along with June Brown, Claire King, Roy Walker, Sherrie Hewson, Shaun Ryder, Russell Grant and Sandra Martin have also tried snail facials, coffee enemas and, believe it or not, cow urine shampoo.
That last one might have just been the production crew having a laugh, but we’ll never know.
They are past the halfway mark now and most are taking it quite seriously – which makes the voiceover jar a bit as the narrator quips about their “dilapidated bodies” and “faded faces”. It all becomes rather emotionally charged for Sherrie as she tries to meditate, with the help of long-time meditator, Corrie’s Bill Roache. “Why should I do it if it’s upsetting me?” asks Sherrie in tears.
Meanwhile, anti-ageing nutritionist Thor starts inspecting their food choices at lunch time, making some unhappy.
“Oh God, if she talks any longer I’m going to eat her,” moans Sandra. Blonde beauty Thor, who rather unbelievably is 58, somehow seems to look even younger than she did in the last episode. She’s THAT good at her job, it’s like watching Benjamin Button.
“Let’s push them harder,” she says. You’ll be rooting for the celebs to succeed.
