London - They’re back, sweetie! And none of them, spookily, seems to have aged more than a day.
Joanna Lumley, 70, looks just as fabulous as she did playing Patsy Stone in 1992, while Jennifer Saunders, 57, appears considerably younger than when her character, Edina, first appeared on TV.
Likewise, the celebrities who make cameos in the film seem eerily as youthful as ever.
For viewers, it’s not so much a game of ‘Who is that?’ more a case of: ‘Crikey, doesn’t she look good?’
A full decade ago, Ms Lumley, who plays Patsy Stone, admitted that she had regular collagen injections into her forehead and mouth to stop her looking ‘old and tired’.
The former Sixties model and New Avengers star said: ‘I’ve had collagen to fill out a scar on my chin. I’ve also used it on deep lines across my forehead. Hard lines by the mouth, too — you don’t need them.’
She has long coloured her hair, which would otherwise be grey.
Joanna says she’s not had surgery, though. ‘What’s the point of getting stuff done when I’m looking to play older people like grannies?’ she said last year.
Jennifer Saunders, who plays Eddy, has never looked better. The Ab Fab writer, who turns 58 next week, said in 2014 that she had ‘never’ had Botox. She added: ‘Well, I looked at X Factor’s Simon Cowell and he’s had more Botox than the whole world put together and his eyes are like that [droopy]. Something’s happened here and I don’t want that to happen to me.’
