| Katie Piper - Her life changed at 24, now she’s 42. Which number will her biological age be closest to? | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:52:40 | |
Katie Piper spent the second half of her twenties recovering from a violent acid attack, and coming to terms with how her life had permanently changed. Nearly two decades on, her life couldn’t be more different. In this wide-ranging conversation, Katie and Katherine cover being a wayward teenagers and how attitudes to alcohol change as you age, the false and short-acting currency of beauty, and how she found faith after her life-path was changed at 24. As Katie observes in her 2025 book Still Beautiful, age is a gift not everybody is given, which is why she’s very happy for journalists to print her real age. She doesn’t think that traumatic life events have added to her biological age, but the day-to-day reality of being married with children may well have. Listen to this episode of What’s My Age Again to find out how accurate her predictions were. | |||

Having spent her twenties feeling she was both too much and not enough, at 35 Rosie Jones is happy with her age. She talks about growing up with cerebral palsy and how her parents never made her feel any different - but how it did take her until 4 to get off her arse and start walking! She’s making up for it now – a successful writer, stand up and actor – she regularly works 16 hours days. Her and Katherine discuss whether women, especially ones living with a disability – need to work those extra hours to earn a place at the showbiz table. It’s a funny, fascinating insight into the world of Rosie. She never orders soup in restaurants but tells us how she admired a man she met recently with CP who did. Rosie tells Nichola about her diet and says her disability makes home cooking difficult but when she is at the fancy restaurants, she does order vegetables.
