Angela Rippon, a beloved television personality, is gearing up to celebrate her 80th birthday in a big way. She's planning on heading to the bright lights and bustling streets of Las Vegas for a wild and crazy three days of partying. And why not? After all, she's still full of energy and vitality, even as she approaches her octogenarian years.
Many fans will remember Angela from her recent appearance on the popular show Strictly Come Dancing, where she was partnered with the talented Kai Widdrington. Despite being eliminated before the finale, Angela looks back on her time on the show with fondness, calling it one of the most challenging, terrifying, and joyful experiences of her entire professional life. And who can forget her jaw-dropping standing split, which seemed to defy her age? But Angela is not one to slow down, and she's already looking forward to her milestone birthday in October.
When asked about her plans for the big day, Angela reveals that she's still trying to figure out the best way to celebrate. She admits that she's never really grown up, and even in her 80s, she still has a youthful spirit and a love for adventure. For her 60th birthday, she had a big party, and she thought that would be the end of her birthday celebrations. But when she turned 70, she decided to treat herself to a solo trip to Oman, staying in a luxurious hotel in Muscat. And now, for her 80th, she's considering a trip to Las Vegas. She even has six friends who are eager to join her on this exciting adventure.
Despite her age, Angela is still as flexible and strong as ever, thanks in part to her time on Strictly Come Dancing. She may not be as strong as she was in her younger years, but she's still physically capable and credits dancing for making her even stronger. It's clear that age is just a number for Angela, and she's not about to let it slow her down.
Interestingly, Angela's appearance on Strictly Come Dancing came more than 30 years after she hosted the original version of the show, Come Dancing. At the age of 79, she became the oldest contestant in the show's history, but she made it clear that her age should not be a factor in how she is judged. She hopes that her participation on the show will encourage others to have a positive attitude towards aging. For Angela, age is just a state of mind, and she's been 30 for the past 40 years.
Nowadays, you can catch Angela's impressive dance moves on the BBC iPlayer, where Strictly Come Dancing is currently streaming. And if you have a celebrity story or pictures to share, you can get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them, calling, or visiting their website. Angela and her fellow celebrities are always happy to hear from their fans and share their experiences with the world.
