Catherine Bailey: If it feels good, do it
“Although I don’t think of myself as being good looking, I am lucky because the way I look is all to do with my genes — my mother, whose age I won’t divulge, looks fantastic. But as a model there is also pressure to look good. I divide my time between Devon, where my son Sascha is at school, and London. When I am in the country I am just Sascha’s mother, which is much easier as there are no expectations as to how I am supposed to look or dress. I live in my jeans and cowboy boots, and rarely look in the mirror. In London it’s different, I tend to think about how I dress for starters.

Nigel Havers: Never act your age
“I always thought that I looked rather odd. But when I was about 30 I grew into my looks. I had a youthful appearance for a long time, which annoyed me, but my first marriage was to someone eight years older than me and we made a pact that I would always add a few years to my age. When we divorced and I remarried, I took a few off. Once at an audition and they asked how old I was. I said: ‘How old do you want me to be, 42? OK, I’m 42.’ I think that’s the way to do it. My age has always been a mystery; I’ve always been running away from it, one way or another.
