Sonia admits to having dabbled with Botox, undergoing cosmetic dental work and keeping her skin fresh with microdermabrasion treatments.

“It’s one of those things, I think, you have to try. Well, you don’t have to, but if you want to and it makes you feel better about how you look or feel, then fine,” she explained to the Daily Telegraph.

As for her stance on plastic surgery, Sonia is open-minded about it.

“The way I see it is this, if you want to undergo cosmetic enhancements to feel more youthful and confident, I say go for it. If you wish to undergo surgery, make sure you think it through, do your research and make sure you see a qualified doctor,” the presenter told 9Honey.

“I basically stick to my favourite skincare brand, Rationale, for my morning and night routine. I also can’t live without Bioderma Micellar Water, which I use to take off my makeup every day,” Sonia says of her skincare regime. “I find it’s one of the only products that doesn’t irritate my skin but is still effective in removing television makeup.”

“I think once you get into that 40-plus bracket, you’re almost forced to take better care of yourself – you can’t handle it the way you used to. When I was younger I could party all night and be fine the next day. But now, forget it!”
