A fourth added: "Sophie Ellis Bextor still looks & sounds fabulous," while a fifth asked: "How has Sophie Ellis Bextor NEVER aged?!"

Sophie is surprisingly 45 years old, but looks like she hasn't changed since she was a 21-year-old singing about killing the groove. Now a mum-of-five, Sophie previously revealed she wouldn't consider surgery and has always steered clear of using age-defying cosmetic treatments to stay young.

Speaking about why she avoided Botox, she said: "I do not participate in that myself because I have five kids and it's really important for me to look cross." Speaking about whether she would every consider surgery previously, she said: "No. I don’t think it makes you look younger, it just makes you look different and it’s not worth the risk. I want to look good for my age, but I’m not interested in looking younger than I am."

Sophie also once revealed the secrets to her youthful looks. She said: "I don’t always follow this advice but always take off all your make-up before going to bed and put on a nice moisturiser. Sleep is the key to feeling and looking good."
