She spent her twenties addicted to cocaine, her thirties building her television career, her forties juggling work and motherhood, and her fifties becoming an entrepreneur.
Now, former What Not to Wear guru Trinny Woodall is coming up 60 – and she’s far from done.
“Taking it easy is the last thought in my head,” laughs the star. “I still feel like a 30-year-old rushing around, because there is so much to do. I don’t feel like I would ever not work. Ever. Until I die.”
Indeed, the stylish Brit recently launched her own podcast called Fearless, and this month she released a book of the same name.
It is, she says, a blueprint for life: advice she wishes she’d had through her many challenges, from drug addiction and profound grief to IVF (she went through nine rounds before conceiving her daughter Lyla, now 19, and another seven in an unsuccessful attempt to have another child).
Just don’t call Fearless a memoir. “I wouldn’t do an auto-biography,” she says. “I find them creepy. No, creepy is the wrong word. I’d just feel odd, uncomfortable… I could never do a proper autobiography because I don’t have a brilliant memory.”
Back in the noughties, when she and pal Susannah Constantine burst onto TV screens with their at-times startling show, in which they undressed themselves and their fashion-challenged subjects in front of the cameras, it seemed there was no end to what Trinny would share with her fans.
For starters, she confessed she never wore a bra.
