Even though Ben is the youngest one left, he certainly acts like the oldest. He has the demeanor of a middle-aged millionaire.
The guys ages at the start of the series were:
Noorul 33
James 32
Philip 29
Majid 28
Howard 24
Ben 22
Rocky 21

I'd have never thought that Noorul was the oldest guy.

If I had to guess who was the oldest candidates I'd have said Debra, Lorraine and James. If it was attitude-wise then I'd say Ben.

philip is the same age as me! Thought he was defo early 30's

coloured contacts.


Only 2 years away.

Now you come to mention it, the similarities are uncanny!

You know I think Alex last series was the same age??

I may be wrong. It's not like he went on about it...

And Ben this series is 2 years younger and he got a scholarship to Sandhurst.

He likes to play that card pretty close to his chest, though.

Not a fan of Debra, but I think one of the reasons she looks older than her age is because she seems to suffer with dry skin. Unfortunately for those of us who have that, it can have an aging effect. I have had hands like a 50 year old since I was 20!

I remember on YF some of the candidates remarking how she is always moisturising, and despite that, I noticed her lips and the skin around her mouth was looking very dry when she was in the boardroom in last week's episode. I'm aware I'm beginning to sound obsessive, but I'm just expressing some sympathy for her!

Dry skin obviously has no bearing on what comes out of her mouth and the volume it comes out, of course!

I'm glad you mentioned that because piling on moisturiser because you are vain is a negative personality trait whereas doing it because you have a skin condition is an entirely different matter.

No point castigating the poor girl for something that is not her fault.
