[00:00:00]What are you hoping you'll find under the tree this Christmas? A little something from Versace, Armani, or Gucci? That wouldn't be enough for Angela. What she wants is a whole new Angela.

[00:00:11]>> I just look so old. It's horrible feeling.

[00:00:13]>> Can anyone take this turkey from pasty to tasty?

[00:00:16]>> I can feel my whole hand look all the way down your trousers, Angela. Hello.

[00:00:20]Stretching your leg.

[00:00:21]>> Even the gung-ho Nikki Hamilton Jones and her team of age busting boppins are looking doubtful.

[00:00:27]>> It's ginger and I hate ginger. Okay, back to the basin.

[00:00:30]>> 10 weeks to turn Widow Cranky into a fairy princess in your dreams.

[00:00:35]>> Think it's bloody horrible.

[00:00:59]It's not hard to get to the root of Angela Matak's problems. When she was a young mom, just 27 years old, she received some devastating news.

[00:01:08]>> To go through the menopause at 27 was such a shock that soon as the doctor told me, you could see the aging process. It just was there.

[00:01:16]>> These days, Angela hardly ever leaves the house. And who can blame her when the menopause has this kind of effect.

[00:01:22]>> There have been occasions when she's been mistaken for my mom. Um, and that's devastating not just for her, but for me as well. It makes us both feel very, very self-conscious.

[00:01:31]>> Her life has stopped dead in its tracks.

[00:01:33]Robbed of her youth, she's been left with a quivering mass of gibbering jelly jels and deputy doll droopy eyes.

[00:01:40]>> I've tried every cream you can imagine.

[00:01:42]All of them. I try only them for a few weeks and then I get bored with them cuz they don't do any good. So, they go in the bin basically. Now, it's just soap and water. Though she's got more clubber than hanger space, Angela hides herself away in clothes as saggy and as baggy as her skin.

[00:01:57]>> I've got some lovely clothes in my wardrobe that have never been worn. I just don't feel as though the face suits the clothes.

[00:02:04]>> It's no wonder her self-esteem has hit rock bottom.

[00:02:07]>> It's probably about 10 years really since since we went out and An's really really enjoyed herself.

[00:02:12]>> I don't think I'm ever going to get my confidence back. I've lost it years ago.

[00:02:16]>> And that's Nikki's challenge. Getting Angela her confidence back. 10 years younger and tons more self- assured. And all before Christmas, please. The general public have always been Angela's sternest critic. So, it wasn't easy to coax her back to the Sheffield Shopping Mall where she used to hang, especially when she found out why. We put Angela in the shop window and encouraged passers by to give a frank opinion of just how old she really looked.

[00:02:43]>> About 53, around 55. I'd say about 57.

[00:02:48]>> 46.

[00:02:50]>> About 52. About 55.

[00:02:52]>> 51.

[00:02:53]>> I think she's more like 53. She looks 57.

[00:02:57]>> 61.

[00:02:58]>> I would think about 50.

[00:03:00]>> 49.

[00:03:01]>> She looks about 47. 55.

[00:03:03]>> She looks about 52. I think she's probably about 60.

[00:03:07]>> From a sobering 48 to a scandalous 62, the sharpeyed shoppers have had their say. Angela's going to be gobsmacked to find out. Her average age is a fearsome 55.

[00:03:20]But what is the magic number on her birth certificate? Nikki Hamilton Jones is here to sit Angela down for a spot of painful viewing. Go easy with her, Nikki.

[00:03:29]>> So, Angela, how was the poll? I heard you had a really interesting poll experience.

[00:03:34]>> I certainly did. A bit embarrassing, really. The good thing was you couldn't hear what they said, so I have no idea what people thought of my age. Let's go for it.

[00:03:46]>> I would say about 49. Um, mainly because her face and the way her hair is and >> I think she's 54. Um, probably with the state of her skin.

[00:03:56]>> I'd say about 57. Um, because of the lines, the hair drags her face down.

[00:04:01]>> 61. And her clothes, her hair looks a bit dull and bitled and her face is a bit worn. The bags under her eyes and round round down by her lips and also the clothes that she's wearing I don't think are right for her.

[00:04:17]>> 56 56 >> um generally because of where she's dressed and her hair.

[00:04:22]>> I think she looks about 60.

[00:04:25]>> Woo. Oh. No. No.

[00:04:29]>> Why do you think they were saying that then?

[00:04:30]>> Bad lighting.

[00:04:32]>> Bad lighting in a shop. Your average age from their pole, Angela. Yeah.

[00:04:39]>> Came out at >> 55.

[00:04:42]>> That's not bad.

[00:04:43]>> Not bad.

[00:04:44]>> So, tell me your real age.

[00:04:46]>> 42.

[00:04:47]>> No.

[00:04:47]>> 42.

[00:04:48]>> And 13 years older.

[00:04:51]>> And you and that's okay.

[00:04:53]>> Well, I knew it'd be old.

[00:04:56]>> Right. Okay. So, we've got our work cut out for us, but you know, never shy of a challenge. I am good. No doubt we'll be able to work our miracles.

[00:05:05]And Christmas miracles are definitely needed to turn things around for Angela.

[00:05:09]An early menopause in her 20ies has robbed her skin of all its elasticity.

[00:05:14]And decades of nicotine, caffeine, and sunbathing have left her looking as tough as Santa's old boots and as saggy as his sack. Lopsided features, pouchy eyes, and a baggy jawline make her look years older. Her lovely smile has been chipped away by years of nailbiting, and her hairstyles as frumpy as her wardrobe. No wonder she prefers staying indoors.

[00:05:38]It seems cruel to make the comparison that maddeningly glamorous Hollywood celeb Courtney Cox is at 42 exactly the same age as Angela. Over the past 10 years, Courtney doesn't seem to have gained a single wrinkle anywhere.

[00:05:50]A-listers like Courtney have a stream of stylists to turn them into stunners. So, it's high time Nikki leads on her three wise men. cosmetic surgeon Yan Stannic, dental dynamo Surrender Hundle, and hair guru Andrew Barton.

[00:06:04]>> Why do you think she's aged so dramatically?

[00:06:06]>> She does have some sun damage and years of smoking.

[00:06:10]>> Yes, >> the solution is really to resurface her skin. You have quite a lot of asymmetry like your left bra for example is much lower than the right.

[00:06:18]>> Oh, >> we can raise that.

[00:06:22]>> Then there are other things like these deep lines for example here. They're quite important and just defining the jawline more, making it less square basically.

[00:06:31]>> So is that lifting the >> That means lifting the skin and and the muscle. Yeah. We also reduce the size of your nose a little bit.

[00:06:39]>> I will have it all. You can get me to 42.

[00:06:43]>> Great.

[00:06:44]>> I think one of the things that we can do is is is retain the majority of the length because I think that can look very youthful, particularly on Angela. I think it'll work well. I think what we've got to do is get rid of this this area of kind of recessed area through here. I think certainly this slightly kind of Nolan sisters type flick um from circa 1978 um probably needs to change and then complement the color. The color's quite pretty as it is.

[00:07:11]>> Yeah.

[00:07:12]>> But let's strengthen it and make it a little bit more vibrant.

[00:07:15]>> Yeah. You like that?

[00:07:16]>> Yeah. That's good. Keep the length. Very good.

[00:07:18]>> Yeah. We're in the good box. We're in the good box. If you look at your teeth from a distance, then she's a bit of a smiler and they're pretty, but if you actually have a really close look, you'll see some telltale signs. I mean, one thing is they're slightly discolored. Do you drink anything that could have caused bit of discoloration?

[00:07:33]>> Coffee. A lot. Half coffee.

[00:07:35]>> A lot being >> at least 20 a day.

[00:07:38]>> They make them make you look older.

[00:07:39]Don't you know coffee ages you?

[00:07:41]>> Smoker as well.

[00:07:42]>> The truth is coming out now. Yes.

[00:07:44]>> So, if you actually look at the tips of the teeth, there's actually a bit of wearing away there. Do you have any habits like grinding your teeth or >> biting my nails?

[00:07:50]>> Actually, another thing that stands out here is actually that missing tooth over there.

[00:07:54]>> Well, the tooth isn't missing. It's actually there. It's broken. How long has that been broken? For >> about a year.

[00:07:59]>> A year.

[00:08:00]>> All I'll do is lighten your teeth, extract the root, and undertake some bonding to the tips of your front teeth to give them back their shape. Overall, I'm going to keep the treatment really simple because I do actually like the shape of your teeth.

[00:08:10]>> So, here's the master plan to give our Christmas bird all the trimmings. Yan will start the rescue package with a brow lift to even out her lopsided features, followed by eye bag removal, nose job, and lower jaw lift. What's left over will be given a rejuvenating chemical peel. Serenda will give her something to smile about.

[00:08:30]Andrew will put the glam back into her matronly mop. Then, fashion fairy godmother Nikki's going to steam into Angela's wardrobe and kit her out with some festive threads. But first, it's time for shock tactics. Angela's a secret hoarder. She already has rails of halfdecent clothes. Trouble is, zero confidence means she doesn't wear them.

[00:08:51]Never one for subtlety, Nikki secretly decked out this secondhand shop with a window full of Angela's unworn clubber to show her the path to fashion righteousness.

[00:09:00]>> So, I thought we'd go do some windows.

[00:09:06]>> Come on. Some nice window shopping for you here. You recognize anything? What is the point of having all these clothes in your wardrobe if you never wear them?

[00:09:16]>> I don't think you feel young enough to wear those clothes.

[00:09:19]>> So really, they might as well be in the charity shop and you need clothes that you do want to wear and actually reflect the person that you really are. The way you dress is aging you further. So it's a vicious >> It's just, you know, the colors draining.

[00:09:32]>> You look so cute.

[00:09:34]>> What Angela has to learn is that where Nikki is concerned, resistance is futile. I can feel my whole hand. Look all the way down your trousers. Angela, hello.

[00:09:44]What is wrong with you?

[00:09:49]>> These days, wrinkly Angela Matx looks more like the ghost of Christmas past.

[00:09:53]At 27, the menopause struck with devastating effect. Add to that 20 cups of coffee a day, an unspecified number of [ __ ] and a lifetime of sunbathing, and this is what you end up with. And that's not all. Now she's become a granny at the shockingly tender age of 42. It's enough to give anyone gray hairs.

[00:10:11]>> I just love if it was just one person to say, "Oh, you look young for a grandma.

[00:10:16]You know, you can't be a grandma. Surely it would be great."

[00:10:20]>> Nikki's raided the family albums and assembled a display defining the decline and fall of Angela Matx.

[00:10:26]>> Are these your brothers and sisters?

[00:10:27]>> That's my brother and sister. Yeah, it is.

[00:10:29]>> And are they older than you?

[00:10:31]>> They are. They are. My sister's 11 months older than me. She looks a lot older than you here.

[00:10:36]>> Doesn't she? Yes, definitely. I like that one. Yes. I'm a real happy person there. 13. Not caring the world. Good fun.

[00:10:45]>> So, how old are you here?

[00:10:48]>> About 24, I think. Around that age.

[00:10:52]>> So, in 10 years, you've taken up the smoking habit.

[00:10:56]>> Yes. And have you got children?

[00:10:58]>> Got my daughter.

[00:10:59]>> And how long had you been smoking for at this stage?

[00:11:01]>> 24. I've been smoking since I was about 17.

[00:11:06]>> So, this is the big day.

[00:11:08]>> Mhm.

[00:11:08]>> And what age are you here?

[00:11:10]>> Uh, 27.

[00:11:12]>> And were you Was it a good day?

[00:11:14]>> Best. Yeah. Sorry.

[00:11:17]>> Did you feel really good at that point in your life?

[00:11:21]>> I'd actually gone through the menopause at that stage.

[00:11:23]>> Really? By by the time you got married?

[00:11:26]27. Wow. That's quite hectic. Did you feel any different?

[00:11:29]>> No, I didn't feel different at the beginning. So as the years went on that it made a difference.

[00:11:33]>> Right. Okay. Tell me how old your hair >> about 32 I think.

[00:11:37]>> 32. So that's really five years since your wedding day.

[00:11:42]>> No.

[00:11:42]>> And yeah I know the age so different is it?

[00:11:46]>> That's incredible.

[00:11:47]>> I don't know what happened. I really don't.

[00:11:49]>> You you really look in your 40s here to me.

[00:11:52]>> No I'm not.

[00:11:53]>> That's unbelievable. Were you feeling older?

[00:11:57]>> Definitely. Definitely. There. Yeah. The menopause is obviously affecting me at that stage. Yeah.

[00:12:03]>> Such a difference, isn't it?

[00:12:05]>> Let's go on to the next one.

[00:12:06]>> I think that was only a year or so ago.

[00:12:10]>> Is that your husband?

[00:12:11]>> No, that's my dad.

[00:12:12]>> Your dad?

[00:12:13]>> My dad?

[00:12:14]>> No.

[00:12:14]>> Oh, you'll be so pleased.

[00:12:16]>> When people mistake your dad for your husband without thinking cradle snatcher, there's a problem. Luckily, tomorrow Angela's got a date with Gan's little scalpel. At home, big sister is helping her pack. This is going to be the last time you see this face look like this.

[00:12:32]>> It won't change that much, will it?

[00:12:34]>> It will. I'll be a million dollars.

[00:12:36]>> What do you mean it won't change that much?

[00:12:41]>> Next morning, the nailbiting goes into overdrive. Luckily, husband Kevin's there to hold her hand very, very tightly.

[00:12:49]>> Mother Porter.

[00:12:52]>> Hello.

[00:12:53]>> You all right?

[00:12:53]>> Yes, I'm fine. Don't ask cuz I'm fine. I just want to get on with it now. Yeah, definitely. Although it seems to have gone quick, you know, I really just want to get down there, get it done, get back up, >> then he can see me, then we'll be all right.

[00:13:09]>> This is major surgery and a drastic option, but Angela's given it a great deal of thought, taken lots of advice, and knows the risks. She's in safe hands, though. Yan's the man behind a thousand facelifts.

[00:13:27]When Angela's securely under anesthetic, Yan can begin his 4 and 1/2 hour marathon. This is the total rejuvenation package. Upper and lower eyelids, brow lift, lower face lift, nose job, and chemical peel. Angela's blubbery handog eyes have always been the bane of her existence.

[00:13:45]>> Eyes are really the first thing that goes in most faces.

[00:13:50]um simply because the skin is very thin, there's a lot of movement, you know, it's very much like a hernia. As the the tissues become weaker, the fat shows more and more. These days, eye bag surgery is one of the quickest and most popular cosmetic procedures. Scarring is minimal, and you can usually return to work in 10 days, giving the impression that you not only slept incredibly well, but also slipped back somehow in time. A lifetime of smoking, coffee, and sun have certainly done Angela's skin no favors, but even their ravages are nothing compared to the damage wrought by her early menopause.

[00:14:26]At the time of the menopause, the level of estrogen drops dramatically in the body, perhaps as much as 90% of the estrogen falls. And it's that lack of estrogen that shows itself in the skin.

[00:14:36]So estrogen is important for elastic nature of the skin, for the lipid content of the skin and the hydration.

[00:14:42]And when that is removed from the body, the skin looks thinner, more wrinkly, and more salow.

[00:14:48]>> The joys of the menopause don't stop with the skin. They can also include weight gain, exospacial hair, lack of sex drive, hot flushes, night sweats, fragile bones, mood swings. It's a bundle of laughs.

[00:14:59]>> The situations made worse by smoking.

[00:15:01]Smoking will make a woman use up her estrogen more quickly so that it may drop by a further third and have added effects on the skin. The usual age for the menopause is from 47 to 52, but for one in 100 women, it arrives much earlier. To combat menopausal symptoms, cut down on nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine. Take up regular exercise and a healthy diet. Hormone replacement therapy is another option. It restores missing estrogen and helps plump up the skin. Your GP should be able to advise whether it's right for you.

[00:15:35]Surgery over. Angela's popped into bed to sleep off the anesthetic.

[00:15:40]>> Two hours later, she's awake. Ever so awake.

[00:15:43]>> I'm so excited. Now I can go shopping.

[00:15:47]All thumbs up now.

[00:15:50]>> To Angela, these bandages and bruises represent a brighter, better future.

[00:15:55]>> Can you see?

[00:15:57]>> Oh, wow.

[00:16:01]Oh, I'm going to look great.

[00:16:04]That's not as bad as I thought.

[00:16:06]Not got to hide now. Yes.

[00:16:12]>> Despite nearly 5 hours under the knife, next morning Angela's declared fit to go home. Wobbly, but fit.

[00:16:25]Angela's family are on hand with the tea and sympathy. And for her first few days back in Yorkshire, she needs all the pampering she can get. But 3 days after surgery, she's hit a low point.

[00:16:38]>> It's been the worst day this day.

[00:16:41]Really, my face is so sore. I can hardly talk. My skin so stretched.

[00:16:50]I'm just hoping tomorrow I feel a little better. If I can hopefully get a bit more sleep tonight, then hopefully I'll feel a little bit better in the morning. Day five and Angela's back on track. She's up and about and her confidence is growing daily.

[00:17:07]>> I know the skin doesn't look brilliant at the moment, but I can see such a vast difference. I mean, I haven't got no lines here at all. My chin, even though it's swollen, my neck swollen a little bit, but I can see such a difference in the shape. Um, the one thing I can't wait to see properly is my nose. I definitely look better. I know I look better. I know I don't quite look the million dollars yet, but it won't be long before I will.

[00:17:35]>> The only thing Angela's not so chuffed with are Kevin's underdeveloped laundry skills.

[00:17:41]>> You can't put all that in together, are you?

[00:17:44]>> You aren't kidding me, Kevin.

[00:17:47]>> White socks in there.

[00:17:49]>> Color.

[00:17:50]>> Oh, don't do mine. Do not do any more washing. Leave it alone.

[00:17:56]4 days later, Angela's back in London to have her stitches and staples removed, and her face is well on the mend. The surgery has given her a tremendous boost, and a whole new, happier Angela is beginning to emerge.

[00:18:09]>> The eyes look so good.

[00:18:11]>> She may be sorted from the neck up, but as far as her clubber is concerned, Angela's still going to look like old Mother Hubbed come Christmas.

[00:18:18]>> Although I know I'm not old, I just look too old to wear the clothes that are in my wardrobe. So, jeans and a t-shirt is the best way forward. She's conscious about how she looks, what she wears, what she doesn't wear. She thinks if she puts anything nice on, she'll stand out.

[00:18:33]>> If Angela's going to strut her stuff, she's got to ditch the frumpy gear and start dressing with attitude to release her bubbly personality. Style queen Nikki's on the case to get her out of those saggy denims.

[00:18:46]>> Pair of jeans.

[00:18:47]>> Yep.

[00:18:48]>> Another pair of jeans. Right. Third pair of jeans.

[00:18:53]>> Yep.

[00:18:54]>> Oh, and another pair of jeans. This is what you wear day in day out.

[00:18:58]>> Yep.

[00:18:58]>> And why do you live in your jeans?

[00:19:00]>> If you just put jeans, t-shirt, you just blend in. You're just not stood out in the crowd. You know what I mean? And that's how I like to be really.

[00:19:07]>> So, you like to be anonymous?

[00:19:09]>> Yeah.

[00:19:10]>> Why?

[00:19:11]>> Then you don't get the comments from people about your age and how old you look.

[00:19:15]>> I mean, look at that. I can put my whole hand. In fact, I can go I can put my whole hand. Look all the way down your trousers, Angela. Hello. I'm scratching your leg. Okay. Would you like to put your hand down mine? How far are you going to go? Yeah. Hello.

[00:19:30]What is wrong with you? You've got a fabulous body and you're wearing Even your jeans are two sizes too big. Oh, that is pretty ghastly. Oh lord. What is that?

[00:19:41]>> Nice. That's >> nice.

[00:19:43]>> Yes.

[00:19:43]>> Nice.

[00:19:45]>> Why would anyone wear anything that was nice? It needs to be fabulous, Angela.

[00:19:51]Not nice. I think half the problem is that you wear clothes that make you feel so dowy and so low that all it it gets you in a negative mindset >> and then all you see is your negative points.

[00:20:02]>> Y >> and what we need to do is put you in things that actually make you feel amazing. You're just taking in this vision in front of your eyes. That is what we need to achieve.

[00:20:12]>> That would be great.

[00:20:14]>> So you wear this?

[00:20:15]>> Yep.

[00:20:15]>> You've worn this once.

[00:20:16]>> Yep. Are you going to wear it?

[00:20:18]>> No.

[00:20:19]>> It's got to go.

[00:20:21]>> Hoarding clothes is a crime against fashion, and Angela's right up there on the most wanted list. Her acres of fabric just stay on the hanger. Angela's not alone. A recent survey revealed that British women waste a staggering 7.3 billion pounds every year on unworn clothes. The trick is to declutter your closet so you end up with a capsule wardrobe you can mix and match. It's >> quite nice. Quite like these ruffles.

[00:20:46]That's quite in for the season.

[00:20:47]>> I've never worn that either.

[00:20:49]>> See, this has never been put on.

[00:20:50]>> No.

[00:20:51]>> Buried in Angela's widow twanky wardrobe, Nikki's found a shirt that gets the fashion police nod of approval.

[00:20:57]>> Loving this. This is not something you would normally wear, is it, Angela? But it's in your cupboard. I think we needed something else on the bottom with this.

[00:21:04]I can't see a >> No, definitely nothing of yours, Angela.

[00:21:08]>> To update Angela's shirt, Nikki puts her in this season's widelegg tailored trousers.

[00:21:14]>> What are you thinking?

[00:21:15]>> I like it. You like it, but you've never worn a top before?

[00:21:18]>> No, but it looks nice with these trousers.

[00:21:21]>> Yeah.

[00:21:22]>> Okay, let's see if we can make it look even better.

[00:21:25]>> Nikki's plan to get Angela from frumpy to funky couldn't have come at a better time. This winter's catwalk is dripping with sexy siren fashions to give her her groove back. Moody, dramatic, and perfect for Christmas. Purple shone like a jewel from the catwalk this season.

[00:21:41]Featured by everyone from Versace, Poochie to Gucci, it's fabulous even on 40year-olds.

[00:21:48]The color is purple, the shape is tulip.

[00:21:51]A tulip skirt in pretty much any color can be a valid alternative to the little black number. The collections flaunted whole fields of tulips, and it's a great look for granny's with attitude.

[00:22:02]Women wear men's clothes so much better than men, you wonder why men bother wearing them at all. The androgynous look is all about sharp, clean cut tailoring with a feminine twist.

[00:22:11]Professional gender bending with a drool factor of 11.5 and perfect for getting Angela funky without flashing too much flesh.

[00:22:21]Look, Angela, what are you thinking?

[00:22:28]>> Thinking it's all great.

[00:22:30]>> This is your own shirt, remember? And I've just added a few classic bits, accessorized it, pulled it together, and has totally transformed your look and boost your confidence. I mean, you smiling, you're excited.

[00:22:41]>> Oh, great.

[00:22:45]>> Should we go out now?

[00:22:47]>> YEAH, LET'S GO. COME ON.

[00:22:50]>> The androgynous trend is perfect for Angela to look chic and girly, yet still wearing trousers. Her white shirt has been updated with tailored pants, a fitted leather jacket, and wide belt.

[00:23:01]Hey, presto, instant fem fatal.

[00:23:06]With the bags and sags nipped and tucked, and a start made on the wardrobe, Angela's old bubbly personality has resurfaced. Quick, get her down the dentists while we're ahead.

[00:23:17]Angela's already had to give up a 20 a day teeth staining coffee habit to start a professional home whitening treatment.

[00:23:24]Most people find nothing scarier than the dentist. But for our granny, it holds no fears. Then not all dentists are as cute as Surrender.

[00:23:33]>> Surrender just has this way of putting me at ease and looking into his big brown eyes. You know, it's nice.

[00:23:39]>> First of all, I've got to say one thing.

[00:23:40]When I look at your smile, I actually think it's very pretty smile. You seem to have a lovely personality. When you're smiling, your eyes are smiling as well.

[00:23:47]>> And I think I think it'd be a shame to do too much. Okay. But we have got a few problems. You've got worn down front teeth. So you've either got a habit that's causing them to wear down or you're just chipping them away.

[00:24:00]>> Which one is it?

[00:24:01]>> Habit >> of >> biting my nails. I think >> that explains that. Okay. I'm actually going to do veneers. Yes. But I'm going to make them at the chairside without actually going to the laboratory. Okay.

[00:24:11]But you do have to be careful because if you start biting your fingernails again, they'll chip.

[00:24:15]>> To create a picture perfect smile in time for U Tide, Surrender opts for minimal work. He starts by restoring Angela's chipped front teeth using white resin composite to sculpt veneer tips.

[00:24:26]He then polishes them down to a smooth, even finish.

[00:24:32]They are a much less drastic option than ceramic veneers, retaining the bulk of Angela's own teeth. She'll have to kick the nailbiting habit, though, as the tips can discolor and wear down. With good behavior, they should last 5 years.

[00:24:46]After evening out the gums, Surrender extracts a rotten tooth Angela's hung on to for over a year. It's always advisable to deal with broken teeth straight away before they infect the gums leading to abscesses, bad breath, hideous pain, and eventually overall gummness. Surrender fits a bridge to replace the missing tooth. After 3 hours gazing into Serinda's big brown eyes, she's allowed a first glimpse of her new Christmas smile.

[00:25:11]>> Let's have a look now. That's what they look like now. Oh wow, they're great.

[00:25:18]>> There's a huge difference already. Yeah, >> I've kept it very simple, but I think those little things made all the difference.

[00:25:25]>> Definitely. Thank you.

[00:25:27]>> So, no more biting fingernails?

[00:25:29]>> No, no more. There was no pain whatsoever.

[00:25:33]I'm absolutely delighted with them and I can't wait to go home and show my husband. Now, >> it was all going so well for our Miss Perfect in the dentist chair, but for some reason, Andrew's big brown eyes don't seem to have quite the same effect on Angela.

[00:25:45]>> It's ginger, and I hate ginger.

[00:25:47]>> Okay, back to the basin.

[00:25:48]>> And Nikki's charm isn't working either.

[00:25:50]>> I think it's bloody.

[00:25:57]>> Clap granny Angela Matx is only 42, but she lost her groove after a premature menopause at just 27. Three weeks ago, the bags and sags were nipped and tucked, and her self-esteemes had a major lift, too. To get her cool for you, it's time for the fun girly stuff.

[00:26:16]The challenge for Nikki is to knock years off her wardrobe in time for Christmas. So, think sassy, sexy, and seasonal. It's high time Angela flash those perfect pins in a cuttingedge trend. But is she going to like it?

[00:26:29]>> I don't know what to say. I think it's bloody horrible.

[00:26:36]Well, I think it's absolutely stunning.

[00:26:38]What don't you like about it?

[00:26:40]>> I don't like none of it.

[00:26:42]>> Well, I actually like this.

[00:26:44]>> What? What? You need to tell me why. You can't just say I don't like it. Well, one, it's I don't know. Do you not think it's old footy duddy?

[00:26:54]>> Not at all. It's right on trend with the um with the tulip style skirt, the purple, the waisted belt. You've got, you know, the pleat here which gives a little bit of a kick, a little bit of a tease. And the shape is obviously tulip shape. And so, if anything, it makes you look really skinny because your legs are so skinny. Your calves are really slim.

[00:27:16]And it gives the impression that your legs are this slim all the way up.

[00:27:20]That can't be a bad thing.

[00:27:22]>> I hated it when I came out. Why can't I carry on hating it?

[00:27:26]>> Because it's getting used to yourself in different shapes. I mean, it doesn't make me look big, does it?

[00:27:31]>> Just think you can go out to a party in this. It's glam, sexy. It's just giving you standout factor that you lacked.

[00:27:39]>> Yeah.

[00:27:40]>> You've got to be willing to make the changes to the way you look if you really are going to become a new person.

[00:27:50]>> Otherwise, you're just going to go straight back into your comfort zone the minute. I'm not >> I'm not going to go back there.

[00:27:57]>> I wear it, Nikki. Definitely. You've You've done it.

[00:28:01]>> Well said it. You sold me it.

[00:28:04]>> So, here it is. This season's top shape, the tulip skirt. The trick to prevent the tulip going all women's institute on you is to nip in the waist with a wide belt, resulting in an instant hourglass.

[00:28:17]Bold color equals young at heart, but try telling Angela.

[00:28:23]>> Purple.

[00:28:25]Just a taste of purple. Angela. Oh god, no.

[00:28:28]I don't like this at all. I look huge.

[00:28:32]>> HUGE.

[00:28:33]>> LOOK. NO. LOOK. LOOK. Can you see there?

[00:28:36]>> Can you not see >> that? You are not huge.

[00:28:40]>> This is all about taking you out of your comfort zone. Now, you've had it pretty easy. I' I've eased you in.

[00:28:45]>> Okay.

[00:28:46]>> And now it's to push you >> past the bar and go, "Okay, >> okay.

[00:28:51]>> You can be a granny and be trendy."

[00:28:53]These are the colors that are in fashion. You know, it's the sort of um >> ancient gold, very high fashion as well as the purple. So, this whole combination brings you right up to date.

[00:29:03]Wearing a wrap dress over skinny jeans.

[00:29:06]This is such a young look.

[00:29:07]>> The more I'm looking at it, the more I like this length, which is surprising me now.

[00:29:12]>> There's so much going on at the on the dress that your focus is on the print.

[00:29:16]>> Yeah.

[00:29:16]>> Not on curves. This takes 20 years off you.

[00:29:20]>> Yes. I love it. Skinny jeans on their own look fab if your name's Kate Moss.

[00:29:25]Otherwise, straight leg jeans can be an option. A figure hugging frock on top makes you look 10 lbs lighter. Honest.

[00:29:33]Outfit three is Nikki's take on this season's masculine look. But will it get Angela hot under the collar?

[00:29:39]>> Oh, wow.

[00:29:47]I love it. I LOVE IT.

[00:29:53]OH GOD. PLEASE admire your body for a moment. How gorgeous does it look?

[00:29:59]>> It looks great.

[00:30:02]We've updated your dull and boring wardrobe and injected some excitement into it. Got you in some sexy satin, very hot for the season. And of course, the color red is all over the cover. So that immediately gets you up to date, puts color against your skin, and I know you love it and it makes you feel like a little sex kitten at heart, doesn't it?

[00:30:22]Put it with the season's waisted bell.

[00:30:24]Again, really emphasizing your waist.

[00:30:26]Before, because you just always wore a t-shirt and then, you know, baggy trousers, the eye was around your hips, whereas now the focus is here. And >> the check print again, very hot this season. And then the sort of mananish crop trousers bring it up to date. But still, are they comfortable?

[00:30:45]>> They're great.

[00:30:47]>> You can add femininity to these just William crop pants. Flashes of jewel colors like red satin light up this winter's darker, moodier palette.

[00:30:56]>> It's chic and sophisticated, which you just never had before.

[00:31:00]>> I've got it now, though.

[00:31:03]>> It's not only Angela who's working the androgynous look to the max. It's a trend that really sorts out the A-listers from the extras. Celeb expert Paula Reed reveals who's wearing the pants this u tide.

[00:31:14]>> This week's look is Mary Kate Olsson doing masculine. It's a more an androgynous look actually. There's no way this is a girl trying to look like a boy. She has actually managed to pull it off and partly that's because of the high heel shoe that she's undoubtedly wearing underneath that wide leg trouser. The cinched in waist is given her body narrowness in the middle. It's defining her waist. It's got a very, very feminine twist on it, and I think that's what makes this one really modern.

[00:31:40]>> Mary Kate's designer outfit cost in the region of £1,600, but you can get the look at a fraction of the price with current high street fashions. Best of all, you can take this look from work to play with a sparkly little cape.

[00:31:52]>> Here's how you get Mary Kate's modern, masculine look and still have some money left for Christmas shopping afterwards.

[00:31:58]Give yourself some height with heels under those trousers. Even if you can't see the heel, it makes you walk differently and makes a huge difference.

[00:32:04]We've got these fantastically baggy trousers cinched tightly at the waist and with those fantastic elongating pinstripes, I think it works well. Very, very simple V-necked uh t-shirt. We've actually chosen one with a little rouching detail. Mary Kate has gone for these massive shades uh which are serious Hollywood starlet style. They're an optional extra, but I certainly think to go for a little bit of jewelry and keep the hair very very soft. It just they're very kind of lowkey feminine accessories which actually make the whole give the whole thing that very pretty edge. But the chroning accessory is this fabulous glittery shaw. I genuinely think that every wardrobe ought to have one because that is going to juzj up your little black dress. It's going to work wonders for your jeans.

[00:32:48]There is no way that this is a hard-edged masculine look. It's very girly.

[00:32:52]>> Our bargain high street version cost a snip of Mary Kate's at just £215 and it's perfect to get you shining through the festivities.

[00:33:01]>> If Angela's ever going to shine, her quest for magic skinare needs a bit of a rethink.

[00:33:06]>> I've tried every cream you can imagine.

[00:33:09]All of them. I try only though for a few weeks and then I get bored with them cuz they don't do any good. So, they go in the bin. On top of an early menopause, years of a soap and water zero moisturizer regime have left Angela with a face like granddad's backy pouch. The chemical peel has helped, but what she needs is Wonder Woman ruby hammer and her magic suitcase.

[00:33:29]>> I think the thing that Angela needs more than normal moisturizer. She needs something that will boost and accelerate the collagen production in her skin.

[00:33:39]Things like serums. See, it's very nice and light. And you only need a tiny amount.

[00:33:46]>> A few drops of these deep penetrating formulas boost all skin types, adding radiance and giving a lift like hair conditioner for the skin.

[00:33:56]Then you need a moisturizer on top.

[00:33:58]Nobody can skip that process. So although you're a soap and water girl, you need to put that serum on, wait a few minutes, and then put moisturizer into your face.

[00:34:09]>> Angela, why are you a soap and water girl?

[00:34:11]>> It's just easy. So, you're never really moisturized?

[00:34:14]>> No.

[00:34:14]>> But doesn't it make your skin feel all dry and craggy? Doesn't it feel tight?

[00:34:18]>> Yeah, it feels really tight.

[00:34:20]>> In a nice way.

[00:34:22]>> Few things are more aging than a thinning upper lip.

[00:34:24]>> Were you a smoker?

[00:34:26]>> Yes.

[00:34:26]>> So, you've got these little fine vertical lines. And without being rude, there's probably bit of upper hair.

[00:34:34]>> I can see it. She has a mustache. Let's just get to cut the case. Laser treatment is the only thing to permanently banish facial fuzz. But if it burns a hole in your budget, there are lots of affordable alternatives like waxing and depilitary creams.

[00:34:50]>> How do you know what color concealer to go for? Should you choose something that matches your foundation or matches your skin tone?

[00:34:56]>> I've got a palette here and it's got all sorts of shades from the palest ones to quite dark ones. And when you're trying to cover dark shadows, I think people make the mistake of using something very pale and then it looks like a panda >> and that draws attention to the very thing you're trying to hide. Whereas if you pick something like that that's got a bit of red in it, bit of pink in it to sort of cut the blue, it covers more effectively.

[00:35:26]And you can see it's kind of taken most of it away. That has worked. A treat, hasn't it? It has.

[00:35:33]>> Next time you sort out your makeup bag, it's worth remembering that even cosmetics have a shelf life.

[00:35:38]>> Do you know how long a mascara is supposed to last?

[00:35:41]>> About 6, seven years, do you think?

[00:35:43]That's how long I've had mine anyway.

[00:35:45]>> Oh my god. It's only meant to last 6 months at the most.

[00:35:50]>> How do you Isn't it a bit dry when you put >> Yeah, but I just put a bit of water in it.

[00:35:54]>> Oh my god.

[00:35:55]>> Water is the answer to all Angela's problems. How much water do you drink a day? I love it.

[00:35:59]>> No. Great. But we use it for everything else. We just don't drink it.

[00:36:03]>> Lippy's been discreet for too long. It's Christmas for God's sake. So, pucker up.

[00:36:08]>> The lipstick is back in a big way because I think we've had a lot of lip glosses and all that kind of thing where girly lip plumping products.

[00:36:16]>> I like that. It looks really natural.

[00:36:18]>> How does it feel?

[00:36:19]>> It feels lovely. It doesn't feel cloggy, you know, like most lipsticks feel really. No, this is lovely. So, is this the new transformed Angela who's going to go from the soap and water girl to a glamourus? Have you been convinced?

[00:36:33]>> Yes, definitely. Yes.

[00:36:36]>> Full-on glam is just what's needed to get you through the Christmas party season. If you're going to put some slap on, put some slap on. Here's Ruby's countdown to sparkling seven days a week.

[00:36:48]>> Red lips are back. There are lots of shades out there, so experiment to find the one that suits you.

[00:36:56]The A-listers are viewing the world through Black Widow lashes. The trick is to start with eyeliner and allow time for the adhesive to get tacky. The look is seriously diva, so think like dietric and get batting.

[00:37:10]The current trend for eyebrows is quite strong and full. Apply a bit of color into the eyebrows and set with some gel.

[00:37:23]Go 24 karat gold into the new year with metallics. You can do it on nails, cheeks, eyes, or go really heavy metal with lavish lips of burnished bronze.

[00:37:37]Mismatched nails and lips were one of the edgiest trends seen on the runway this year. Vamp them over the crackers with bold black polish and a blood red pout. Smokey eyes are a great festive look. The key tools are black eyeliner, gray and purple eyeshadows, and tons of mascara.

[00:37:59]Glitter's good in moderation, but too much and you'll look like a nursery school project gone wrong. Stick to a simple, stylish slick of glitter eyeliner.

[00:38:09]>> The worst thing you can do is forget to take off your party makeup. It clogs your pores and leads to blemishes.

[00:38:17]If there's one date every girl needs during the run-up to Christmas, it's with her hairdresser. Hark the Herald Angels sing Andrew Burton's The Scissor King.

[00:38:25]>> I think it is relatively working. We We could add an odd little tone here and there to make it a bit more exciting and to make it a little bit trendier. Uh because it is quite blanket at the moment. It's very dark. More vibrancy in the color, but just as a as a brilliant brunette. What did you have in your mind?

[00:38:46]>> Definitely the color. Keep the color.

[00:38:48]And I thought maybe some red.

[00:38:52]>> She loves red. It's her favorite color.

[00:38:55]Like this color red.

[00:38:57]>> Well, maybe not quite that red.

[00:38:59]>> Good.

[00:39:00]>> Be quite fun, actually.

[00:39:01]>> I think we need to get something a little bit punchier, a bit more vibrant into the hair, and that would definitely be more youthful.

[00:39:09]>> Red hair is the color of the season.

[00:39:10]From all over like Kelly Brookke to full-on streaks like Jos Stone, so Angela's subtle highlights will be in good company. It's a great festive way to up tame dresses.

[00:39:22]Before Angela's hair can be revived with red highlights, slices of the old color are bleached away. I just wondered what that color was in there. You think it's very red.

[00:39:31]>> Do you want to taste?

[00:39:32]>> No. No. Thank you. Um, it's a lighter that's going to take out some of the color, allowing us to get some of your favorite red into your hair. After 20 minutes, it's over to the wash basin to rinse off the lightener, and Angela's in for a shock.

[00:39:56]>> The lightener stripped Angela's color back to orange.

[00:40:04]That's purple.

[00:40:06]>> Okay, it's not actually purple, but it's not quite red either, but don't tell Angela.

[00:40:13]>> Oh my god.

[00:40:15]>> Orange.

[00:40:19]>> So, what we've got is just in that front panel, we've got a slightly lighter panel of copper that'll just burst through next to the red, and it'll just contrast really softly. What do you think, Angela? Tell me.

[00:40:34]>> Tell me what you really think.

[00:40:36]>> It's ginger. And I hate ginger.

[00:40:40]>> Okay, back to the basin, please.

[00:40:41]>> Okay. No, no, no. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I trust you. Honestly, I do.

[00:40:46]>> You're going to love it. I promise you.

[00:40:48]>> It's okay if you cover it. It's just It's just that. Look at that. Ginger.

[00:40:54]>> Should we put a bet on this little kind of copper panel in the front?

[00:40:58]>> That's not cover. It's ginger. Shall we put a bet on this?

[00:41:00]>> Yeah. Go on then.

[00:41:01]>> How much do you want to bet?

[00:41:03]>> Um, >> I'll tell you what, your next haircut's free off me.

[00:41:07]>> Okay, that's good. Oh, yeah. That's good.

[00:41:09]>> He says copper, she says ginger. Let's hope there's not another barley over chopping the barnet. So, new hair, new nose, new makeup, new wardrobe, new smile, new self asssurance, new woman.

[00:41:21]Angela gears herself up to meet her public yet again.

[00:41:25]>> Like 35. She's going to Wow.

[00:41:32]10 weeks ago, Angela Matx couldn't face the world. To her family, she was a fun-loving, vibrant woman, but to everyone else, she was that battle axe front down road. But let's face it, would you be smiling if you were constantly mistaken for your older sister's mom? It wasn't really a surprise when 100 random shoppers guessed her age at 55. But it did hurt.

[00:41:53]She's only 42. That was before Nikki Hamilton Jones and her team gave Angela a very special Christmas present. A complete renewal of her self-confidence.

[00:42:03]The big moment's here. Angela's about to view the whole package for the first time.

[00:42:07]>> How you feeling?

[00:42:08]>> Nervous.

[00:42:10]>> Why are you nervous?

[00:42:10]>> I just uh >> What do you think you look like?

[00:42:12]>> I haven't got a clue.

[00:42:16]>> So, you ready?

[00:42:16]>> Yes, definitely.

[00:42:18]>> Yes.

[00:42:18]>> Okay. All right. Well, I'll see what I can do about that.

[00:42:23]>> Go on, Nikki.

[00:42:25]Please just turn the mirror very quickly. Quicker, quicker.

[00:42:29]I can't see.

[00:42:36]Oh my.

[00:42:41]Oh.

[00:42:44]Do you like it? Are you happy?

[00:42:57]It just looks great. All of it.

[00:43:00]>> Look, red.

[00:43:02]>> I promise you, isn't that >> red?

[00:43:05]You You don't mind the orange. And >> the ginger in your >> ginger. It's copper and it's great.

[00:43:10]>> Oh, is it now? It's >> not what you said at the end.

[00:43:13]>> It's copper and it's great. He was right. is the Angela that's been homebound for a long time because she's been too scared to go out.

[00:43:22]>> She's going to go back out. Definitely back out. Yeah.

[00:43:25]>> Watch out, world.

[00:43:26]>> Yes, definitely.

[00:43:28]>> A miracle, yes, but we did put her through beauty boot camp to get this far. Some serious surgery transformed Angela's tired eyes and her jelly jels.

[00:43:38]A chemical peel has stripped off the old mock croc skin to reveal a peachier complexion. Her smile is sparkling and her hair is heavenly. And she's gone from frazzled to fabulous in time to be the life and soul of every Christmas party.

[00:43:55]Angela's got that tingly festive feeling now. But is she going to feel like the last turkey in the shop when we go back to the scene of the crime? The Sheffield Shopping Mall where 10 weeks ago 100 people put her at 55.

[00:44:07]>> I think she's about 36. I think the face is really glowing. Um, and the clothes make her look really trendy as well.

[00:44:17]Wow. 32. I think she's about for dressing.

[00:44:22]>> Yeah.

[00:44:23]>> Yeah. Very slow. Very attractive.

[00:44:25]>> THANK YOU. SHE GOT hot legs and her hair. She's got really nice skin.

[00:44:33]She's about 42.

[00:44:36]Seems very good. I'd >> say she's 45 about 80 cuz my 35 35.

[00:44:46]HER MAKEUP. IT'S very nice. I like the short time, too. Very nice.

[00:44:50]>> 10 weeks ago, 100 people put Angela at 55. Has anything changed? We hope so.

[00:44:56]And so do this lift load of happy, smiling people. No, it's not the Waltons. It's her family.

[00:45:01]>> Look at all the people that have gathered around us today.

[00:45:04]>> I know. I know. Look at her.

[00:45:10]WHO IS THAT?

[00:45:11]>> ALL COME TO SEE YOU looking so gorgeous.

[00:45:19]>> Let me cry.

[00:45:30]>> We've just done another poll and your new average age.

[00:45:36]Come on.

[00:45:39]It is 37 and it's a new record for 10 years younger that's 18 years old. Big round of applause for Angela, please.
