Fans of The Masked Singer were baffled to find out Dame Joan Collins' true age as she made her show debut.

The actress appeared on the ITV show this evening alongside the four usual panellists - Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Davina McCall - and viewers tuning in couldn't believe Joan's true age.

Praising her for how good she looks, fans rushed to social media to comment on her beauty, as another branded her "gorgeous" and a third called her "phenomenal".

Others said they had hoped to look as good as she does at her age as they commented on her youthful looks.

Joan marked her 88th birthday on May last year, leaving fans shocked by her youthful appearance.

She previously opened up about the struggles she faced during the first lockdown owing to the Covid pandemic.

"Of course I was [in tracksuits] weren’t we all? I gained about half a stone. I was eating as much as possible because aside from drinking bottles of wine and polishing off chocolates – what else was there to do?" she said.

"I also watched endless television – it was ridiculous. I watched nine hours one day. I would watch the morning programmes and read all the papers, so that would take me up to lunchtime."

However, she admitted she was lucky to always feel happy despite being trapped inside.

She shared: "I believe I was born with this gene of exuberance and excitement. I wake up every morning and get enthusiastic about my first cup of coffee and the newspapers.

"I get upset when I look at the news sometimes, but I’m very lucky I don’t suffer from depression or much sadness."
