What's My Age Again?

What age would your home say you are? In this special episode of What’s My Age Again, in partnership with Wayfair.co.uk, Katherine looks at ageing through a different lens: the spaces we live in. She’s joined by Julia Harvey, head of shopping at Grazia, and Josie Gibson, who is currently retrofitting her own Somerset home from the ground up. 

Together they talk about Josie’s dream home, from the daydream she’d had for years to the retrofit using recycled materials and an air source heat pump and why going cheap means buying twice. Julia shares where to start when you’re faced with an empty shell and the easy, affordable ways to make a home feel like you. 

They ask whether our taste really changes with age or we just get more confident, chat about the no-gos of interior design and make the case for wall sconces and curtains as the unsung heroes of a home. 

Along the way there’s modern treehouse minimalism, a tequila bar built into a kitchen, the question of where kids’ artwork should hang, and a verdict on what age Josie’s house would say she is. Plus, how to stop a neutral home from feeling dated, and why investment pieces work for your living room the same way they do for your wardrobe. 

Thanks to Wayfair.co.uk for sponsoring the show, if you’re refurbing, retrofitting or just looking to refresh your space Wayfair is the destination to shop online for furniture and décor. 

Howay Man! Vicky Pattison’s entered the lab! She’s spilling ALL about her wild Geordie Shore days, the hormones that rule her life, trying for a baby and THAT Solero photo…

But how much off a toll has that had on her body?

Years of partying, vaping, extreme challenges and hormonal hell could all tell a different story from the one on her birth certificate. Vicky looks back on being “feral” in her twenties, the reality TV moments that still make her cringe, and why you can be young and daft before you’re old and wise. But it’s not all nostalgia. Vicky opens up about living with Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), the two weeks a month that can leave her feeling like a completely different person, and the frustrating fight to get doctors to take her symptoms seriously.

And with her now trying for a baby, she explains why understanding her body has become more important than ever.

Plus, we get into Vicky’s addictive personality, burnout, ADHD, and her complicated relationship with ageing. Vicky has plenty to get off her chest, but what will her blood actually say about her biological age?

Cancer. Homeless shelters. Forced Menopause. Two divorces. And somehow, STILL laughing.

Comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri has been through more than her fair share. She lost her dad at just six years old, has faced homelessness and found herself in a women's shelter. But no matter what life throws at her, she always finds a way to laugh.

Now turning heads on the red carpet with her BAFTA glamour, Fatiha joins Katherine Ryan to get real about the experiences behind the punchlines. She's had to grow up fast, navigated difficult relationships AND poverty as well as being diagnosed with endometrial cancer, undergoing a radical hysterectomy and being plunged into forced menopause.

 In an instant, her body and her world changed BUT finding the time to slow down isn’t part of her to-do list. 

She’s got the glamour, the humor and the survival instincts. But after everything life has thrown at her, what will her biological age reveal?

We have her blood… let's find out!

Phil Wang enters the lab, spilling ALL about comedian glow-ups, ChickenMaxxing & why he’s the last cool millennial. But do his cells agree? Or is he a boomer on a biological level? He says his opinions age him... but can they age your bones? 

He recalls a childhood full of snakes, floods and getting caned. But he’s tackled his demons head-on, doing therapy to help him find peace. 

Him and Katherine dig into why they prefer stand-up comedy to socialising, the importance of surrounding yourself with people who hold you accountable, and if eating like a goat can keep a human’s age down.  

Phil used to drink so much that every night out ended in vomit, yet these days he prefers a glass of vintage red from his temperature-controlled wine cabinet. Has his body aged like a fine wine? 

Let’s see what the results have to say...

Ultra-processed foods are one of the biggest conversations in nutrition, and one of the most confusing.

Is all processed food bad? Do you really have to ditch the freezer nuggets?

In this bonus episode, Dr Nichola Conlon explains what warning signs you need to look out for on your food labels, what a controlled clinical trial revealed about overeating UPFs, and how these foods can affect biological ageing.

She’ll answer your questions on finding a realistic middle ground and whether past damage can be reversed.

And she settles the great online debate: Is yoghurt ultra-processed?

Plus we'll delve into the case files of an Eastenders legend.

30 marathons in 30 days. Seven Ironmans across seven continents. He says he loves pain...but can Spencer Matthews handle the pain of childbirth?

With his wife Vogue having just welcomed their 4th child, we hooked Spencer up to a TENS machine to simulate labour contractions. Turns out extreme endurance training might not prepare you for EVERYTHING...

The former Made in Chelsea star has swapped partying for extreme fitness, become obsessed with health data and developed a resting heart rate most of us can only dream of. But will his years of extreme training give him the edge, or is even Spencer Matthews capable of reaching his limit?

He gets into what ageing, addiction and pushing himself physically have taught him about resilience AND reveals what actually makes him cry (spoiler : it's not the birth of his children). He also reveals why he thinks longevity is overrated, and why living to 120 is absolutely NOT on his bucket list.

And then there’s the big question: can Spencer beat his wife Vogue’s famously young biological age?

He says he’s not competitive.

We’re not so sure.

Lucy Beaumont is terrified of what ageing might do to her.

And after coming last on Taskmaster, Mastermind, Pointless and The Weakest Link….will she come last in the ageing stakes too?

At 42, the comedian admits she expected her biological age test to be bad.

Years of comedy, questionable eating habits, anxiety, a traumatic C-section, pissy pants, divorce and a lifelong fear of getting ill have left Lucy wondering exactly what all that stress has done to her body.

But is laughter really the best medicine here? And has a chaotic life actually worked in her favour? 

It’s time to find out!
