Dr Hilary Jones is an ITV favourite and recently celebrated a landmark birthday, shocking many viewers and colleagues who struggled to believe that he was turning 70. Richard Madeley, 67, was shocked, while Susanna Reid, 52, joked, “I want what he’s having!”. Dr Hilary quipped in response, “Make-up is brilliant these days, isn’t it? Hides all the wrinkles and everything.”
In a recent interview, Dr Hilary revealed his age-defying secrets. “I feel flattered that people were surprised I was 70. I put it down to make-up and exercise over the years,” he began. Dr Hilary also credits his big family for keeping him youthful. “Having five kids and surrounding myself with young people, and keeping up to date with the news, helps to establish that mindset of youth. I never really want to grow up properly - I’m far too immature for that,” he concluded.
Dr Hilary celebrated his milestone birthday with three parties - one with family, one with friends, and one with ITV. “I was really spoiled that week,” he proclaimed. Dr Hilary isn’t done yet either, as he’s planning a big family holiday later in the year.
Back in June, viewers were quick to express their disbelief at Dr Hilary’s age and wish him a happy birthday. “Happy 70th Birthday to a doctoring legend Hilary, you have helped so many people over your years as the Doctor in morning TV, you’re a credit to your profession & who doesn’t look his age,” one wrote.
Dr Hilary has been on ITV for decades, first appearing on GMTV in 1989 as a health and medical advisor. When ITV changed their morning broadcasts in 2010 and then again in 2014, Dr Hilary stayed on as Health Editor.
