LW: Angela Rippon shows flexibility with another in air split<\/h3>\n

Angela Rippon said she is currently single as the presenter approaches her 80th birthday.<\/p>\n

The Strictly Come Dancing star was married to her childhood sweetheart Christopher Dare from 1967 before they separated in 1989.<\/p>\n

In a candid new interview, Angela, 79, addressed her relationship status and admitted she is happy being single.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d she told The Sun. \u201cRight now, there isn\u2019t anybody who is a lover, though there have been. But I\u2019m very happy with my single status, because I have a lot of very lovely friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The amateur dancer has garnered much admiration from fans as she flaunted her flexibility on the dancefloor as well as being one of the BBC’s oldest-ever contestants.<\/p>\n

Speaking about how she maintains her looks and stamina, Angela admitted she is an advocate of keeping fit and in addition has a skincare routine.<\/p>\n

And although she\u2019s experimented with \u201call sorts of facial treatments\u201d, Angela declares she\u2019s only ever gone under the knife to have her nose rebuilt three times after breaking it three times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s enough plastic surgery, thank you very much!\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

She credits 10 minutes of stretching every morning, as well as tennis, Pilates and swimming, as the key to keeping her agile.<\/p>\n

The BBC presenter also follows a gluten and dairy free diet after a bout of severe food poisoning revealed she was intolerant.<\/p>\n

Angela has also gone tee-total but admits she still eats well and enjoys her food.<\/p>\n

The Rip Off Britain presenter previously opened up about her marriage split when she was aged 60 in an interview with Modern & Mature.<\/p>\n

She said: “It was a stress, of course it was. It was a very stressful period for all sorts of reasons. My immediate feeling was, ‘Oh God, I’ve failed at this’. But in fact, he and I are still good friends. I talk to him on the phone a couple of times a month. We email each other. He lives in Spain now with his partner, Judy. We exchange cards at birthdays and Christmas. Judy kind of updates me on what they’re doing with their home down in Spain. It’s a good relationship for all of us.”<\/p>\n

Angela has had relationships since the split but she has opted to keep them “private”.<\/p>\n

She told Prima: “I was married for 25 years and when we were parting, Christopher told me, ‘I got fed up of people coming to our house all the time’. It made me realise that when you do a job that’s public-facing, you have to respect the privacy of your partner.”<\/p>\n
