What in the name of Death Becomes Her is going on with Celebrity Big Brother star/national treasure, Angellica Bell? Just this morning heatworld learned her real age, and we simply must know her secrets.

And if it's the potion from Death Becomes Her, then we're going to need a PR to gift us that, please, 'cause that s**t is expensive.

CBB 2025 star Angellica's name popped up on the rumour mill for the show earlier this year, and let us tell you - the squeal we let out when she was officially confirmed.

Angellica swanned through the BB crowds on launch night (Monday 7 April) in that slay of a dress (link, please?) and when she stepped up on to that stage to join hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best we immediately thought, 'Sorry, how does Angellica still look 25 when we remember watching her on the telly when we were kids, please?'

An immediate Google informed us that Angellica is somehow 49 years old (she will celebrate her 50th birthday next year), yet she doesn't look like she's aged in two decades. Honestly, we need the skincare regime, the makeup hacks, and again, the link to that dress immediately, please.

And heatworld clearly aren't the only ones utterly gagged by Angellica's ageless beauty...

One fan took to X to stress, 'Angellica Bell is 49?!!! She absolutely has not aged 😍,' while another wrote, 'Angellica Bell literally not aging a single day in the last 25 years, a youthful queen x,' while a third said, 'Catching up on last nights #CBB and I am absolutely gob smacked Angelica is 49, like she looks 30 😅😅.'

The television and radio presenter found fame as a presenter on CBBC between 2000 and 2006, which means she hasn't aged since she was 24 years old.

Speaking ahead of her CBB debut, Angellica said, 'I'm really looking forward to meeting a cross section of people [inside the house] - people you wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity to sit down and just chew the cud with.

'I like to be kept on my toes and I know BB likes to throw in curve balls but I'm also looking forward to a bit of dressing up, role playing and generally having a bit of fun – just being silly. I'm all about enjoying the moment and having a good time. To sum it up, the general experience - it's Big Brother. It's iconic.'

The ageless presenter added, 'Drama isn't my thing but I've not been locked up before! I think my positivity is a strength - the glass is always half full. That's one of my mantras. We've all had adversity in our lives and it's one way to deal with obstacles that come our way. I'm good at listening to people too.

'I've grown as a person because of my job. I've met all sorts of people with different backgrounds - listening to them, listening to their experiences. It's easy to judge people but until you know their story you can't make informed decisions about them.'

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
