A certain kids' TV icon just rocked a festival and still looks like she could score a lead role in a teenage drama. Yep, we’re talking about this one—the former face of a beloved show who’s got everyone wondering if she found the fountain of youth. Allegedly, she made a grand entrance at Fearne Cotton’s latest wellness gig, and let’s just say, if anyone tries counting her wrinkles, they’ll be disappointed. Spoiler alert: there aren’t any.
After saying adios to the spotlight in 2017, our fave from the nineties and noughties has allegedly transitioned into a certified success and confidence coach. How original and totally not overdone. But hey, it’s all about the glow up, right? “We laughed, we cried, we hugged, we 'glowed' in the heatwave…” she gushed about the festival on Instagram. Yawn. Everything about her seems like pure joy, but do we really know?
Now 55, she made her name by hurling herself out of planes and casually winning BAFTAs. If that doesn’t scream ‘let’s keep having fun,’ I don’t know what does. She swapped a life of flashy TV for Zoom coaching sessions. Good for her, I guess.
Living in Oxfordshire with her television-presenter-turned-producer husband and those two kids who probably know way more than we do, she’s here living life as if she’s still that fearless girl next door. Her Insta posts look like a sunny filter was applied to someone else’s idea of happiness, but whatever floats your boat, right? Honestly, I’m not surprised she switched gears. After quitting her radio gig, she mentioned feeling like she was living life by default, not design. So catch her living her best life while we scroll mindlessly through TikTok.
Time will tell if she starts posting daily mantras about inner peace or if she’ll just fade back into obscurity. Either way, the ageless wonder is definitely a conversation starter.
