‘My big thing is pilates – I swear by it,’ she told British Vogue. ‘A few years ago I got a really bad back and my osteopath said that the best thing I could do once I was well enough was pilates. I’ve been doing it for three years now and it’s changed my life.
‘I’m telling everyone out there: give up the gym and get a good pilates teacher! It’s a miracle.’
Speaking of her go-to beauty products, the sixties icon went on to say that she sticks with three easy essentials.

‘When I do my own make-up, I don’t have any particular brands that I use, but I think my base today is Chanel, which is a nice fluid one. I have very dry skin so I have to have make-up that doesn’t dry it out,’ she explained.
‘I’m not sure which mascara I use but it’s one that adds length because I have really short lashes. In the old days I used to wear three sets of false lashes but I can’t be bothered with that anymore – I gave up on them a long time ago!

‘And rouge! My favourite rouge is the old-fashioned Bourjois Little Round Pop Blusher. They haven’t changed it for years and they’re lovely shades – I go for the rosey ones so it looks like I’m naturally flushed.’
