Anne Robinson has revealed her secrets for keeping up with modern life at the age of 80.

The TV presenter explained she had simply "thrown money" at her face in a bid to retain her youth.

Anne, 80, also admitted she worries about mortality but takes comfort from reading the obituaries.

"I do think about (mortality) quite a lot," she told The Mirror. "And I look at the obituaries saying, oh, golly, they went at 70, they went at 72. But then the other day there was a woman who died at 116. So what I do is I try to keep fit, and live in the day and be grateful for wonderful grandsons, my daughter and my son-in-law."

Anne, who worked on The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012, added she has never stopped buying new clothes.

"And I love clothes," she confessed. "I keep buying clothes, I don't think, Oh, well, I won't need any soon."

The journalist explained she had no qualms about undergoing surgery to rejuvenate her looks.

"If you look at Jane Fonda, I don't know she must be 83, 84, and she's looking fantastic," Anne said. "It's why, when I had a facelift, I immediately said that I'd had one, because I didn't want people who are my age to think, why don't I look like her with no lines? I've just thrown money at my face."
