I was going to say the same thing!! I just googled her age and can't beleive that she is only 52! I mean, take Lesley Joseph for example, she's in her 70's but I think she looks younger than Bonnie Langford!

I thought Bonnie looked good as she looks in her mid 50s in Eastenders I thought she was late 60s in real life. Can't believe she's only 52 she was around years ago I thought she was much older.

Patrick from Eastenders never seems to age. Dunno how old he is but he still look early 60s

Rudolph Walker is 77, Patrick must be about the same age as wiki says that he moved to the Uk in the 50's to find work

Agree he looks younger and he has barely aged since he joined Eastenders.

I don't think Bonnie looks as old as people say.

Going down the younger people route as we know most 14-16 yr old characters are now played by late teens early twenties I was surprised to learn the girl who plays Peri is the same age as her character always thought she was older

Gillian Taylforth - EE Kathy Beale - is 61, and her character is probably of a similar age, but she looks much younger. Especially when you consider Ian is her son and he looks 50.

I agree that Tina O'Brien looks young for her age. Someone posted a clip from many years ago when Sarah and David were kids and I watched it thinking she's barely aged since then.

I really like her but I always thought Lacey Turner looked older than her actual age. It is hard to believe that her and Aaron Sidwell are the same age in real life.

Dead Kathy would be 66. Ian is 47

Obvs the aging process stopped when she died

He does look younger in certain lights, depending on what he's wearing, but in the hospital scenes his jowls and turkey neck showed his age

Claudette Hubbard, Ellen Thomas is only 52, they seem to play her much older in eastenders

The fact that mother and daughter Audrey and Gail only have a 7. Year difference in reality

June Brown is knocking on 90...

This reminds me of Doris 'Annie Walker' Speed, she knocked off a significant amount of years of her age and kept it secret for a long time, and passed out with shock when some tabloid revealed her real age after they discovered her birth certificate.

Kellie Bright looks a fair bit older than she really is.

How old do you think she looks?

I think she looks early 30's which is younger than she is. She is really pretty and hasn't aged that much since her The Upper Hand days

Close up her skin hasn't aged well, especially obvious when not wearing makeup. Bonnie hasn't aged well either, very wrinkled close up, even with make up

She has had a few close ups make up free on the show recently and I think she looks even younger than normal.

I would have guessed late 40's. My partner watches Strictly Come Dancing and Kellie looked old for her age there too.

I think some posters on here are well overdue for an eye test!

No way! I can't believe that but people have their own opinions!

It's not opinion as to whether people look older than they are- it's a fact!

I actually think Linda looks a good bit younger than Mick. Funny how people perceive things.

I think I must be the only one with an HD TV.

John Middleton (Ashley Thomas in Emmerdale) is 63. I think that he looks quite a few years younger.

Is he really? I agree he does look much younger. Freddie Jones who plays Sandy is the same age as June brown (89). I couldn't believe that when I found out

Laura Norton who plays Kerry in ED is only 33 in real life.

Really?
John Middleton looks like a man in his sixties, and Freddie Jones does indeed look his age
Are posters wearing wrinkle free glasses?
