About this listen

Welcome to What’s My Age Again – the podcast that asks: How old are you? How old is your body? What do you do to feel young?

Katherine Ryan not only asks her celebrity guests how they feel about ageing but she also asks them to give her their blood. Every famous name on the show takes a biological age test and midway through the show we reveal how their bodies' age compares to their chronological age.

Katherine Ryan is 41 but is her body?

It’s a fascinating and fun conversation about their lifestyle, their childhood, their family and their attitude to getting older. Do they do anything to reverse the visible signs of ageing?

The guests span the decades, and we find out if years of being at the top of their game in sport, entertainment or politics has impacted their body.

Dr Nichola Conlon, who has a PhD in biochemistry joins us every week to discuss the guests’ results and to share the latest science on longevity.

  • Katie Price – Katie is 47 but how old is her body? Will surgery and a life of trauma have affected her biological age?
    Jun 10 2025

    Katie Price says she’s in a better place than she’s ever been and at the age of 47 is finally fully in control of how she lives her life. She’s been in the public eye since she was 18 years old and with sexual assault, 3 kidnap attempts and a hijack at gun point in South Africa she’s had way more than her fair share of trauma. In this hugely open and emotional interview, she talks to Katherine about her breakdown and the therapy she’s done over the years to deal with the drama she’s constantly lived with. But will the trauma have impacted on her biological age?

    Katie talks about her exes, Katherine and Katie bond over the bad men choices they’ve made over the years and Katie admits it’s left her with trust issues. Katie talks lovingly, as always, about her 5 children and her adorable Harvey. She says the door is always open to Dwight Yorke even though he’s never played a part in his son’s life.

    Katie is charming and relatable as ever. She says age doesn’t bother her but admits she’s addicted to changing her body through surgery and wants to have another kid.

    Dr Nichola Conlon explains the test to Katie and explains how trauma changes your hormones and impacts on your biological age. Katie tells Nichola about her diet and Nichola explains where there’s room for improvement and the supplements she could start taking. Katie is in perimenopause and Nichola talks about how that can also impact on your biological age.

    Katie talks about sexual assault, trauma and abuse in this episode which some listeners and viewers might find upsetting. You can find support organisations here:

  • Dame Sheila Hancock – In her ninth decade but refusing to be defined by her age.
    Jun 3 2025

    Sheila Hancock tells Katherine that since turning ninety she’s been treated differently and says you have to battle against the limitations that society puts on you as you age.

    Born in 1933, Sheila has been on our stage and screen for 70 years but in latter years has been best known for her writing. She says the global political atmosphere now is reminiscent of the years before World War Two and her and her contemporaries are alarmed. But she says, with great troubles can cone great change.

    She still misses her late husband John Thaw, who died 25 years ago, but says her curiosity and grandchildren keep her young. She admits she has on occasion used the power of her title, Dame, to get tables in restaurants and get her own way!

    Dr Nichola Conlon and Sheila discuss how loneliness and isolation can impact on your biological age and Nichola talks about the difference between your life span and health span. Nichola applauds Sheila, who has just joined a gym and says, you are never too old to exercise and build muscle.

    This interview was recorded before VE day.

  • Sophie Ellis Bextor - ‘Murder’ reborn and the unexpected power of a woman in her mid-life
    May 27 2025

    Sophie is in her mid forties and says she’s finally shed her inner critic and found a new power. She tells Katherine she’s more confident on stage now than she ever was in her twenties and says the resurgence of her hit single Murder on the Dance Floor has been wonderful and rejuvenating.

    Her mother, Janet Ellis (famous for presenting Blue Peter in the 1970s) has taught her how to age well but she’s still worried having 5 kids may push her biological age into triple figures.

    Her love of music, she says, has kept her playful and her and Katherine discuss if dancing is like having sex in a long-term relationship; you have to keep doing it, even when you don’t always feel like it.

    Dr Nichola praises her for her diet and they all discuss the benefits of Sophie’s unusual, fermented rider request. Nichola talks about music and the science behind how it can reduce your biological age. Plus why Sophie’s pandemic kitchen disco not only kept her young but probably reduced the biological age of anyone who joined in.

    Sophie’s new album, the aptly named ‘Perimenopop’ is out on September 12th pre order here
