But the former Big Brother host said her attitude had changed.

“Even in the winter I apply suncream because I’m so paranoid about ageing!” The £100K Drop star joked.

A panel of sun safety experts at the Garnier Ambre Solaire event discussed how best to protect children.

They said that childhood sunburn almost doubles the risk of melanoma in later life.
