- Title: 10 Years Younger: In Ten Days
- Date: 26th May 2004
- Summary: Stylist Nicky Hambleton-Jones presents an extreme makeover show which aims to make someone look at least ten years younger each week. The participant has to undergo a humiliating poll in which members of the general public have to guess their age. The participant inevitably looks older than they should for their age and Hambleton-Jones confronts them with their average poll age. The programme then attempts to improve the participant's look by using a combination of plastic surgery,dentistry,a new haircut,make-up and a new wardrobe in the hope that a second poll will produce an average age that is at least ten years younger than the first result. The real challenge,however,is that all this has to be done in just ten days. Narrator: Simon Chadwick Producer: Dave Smith (episode five) Emma Singh combines hectic motherhood with a night course,packets of cigarettes and lots of wine drinking which results in baggy,wrinkly eyes and tired skin. The poll put her average age at 40 when Emma is actually only 35. Emma goes into surgery straight away to get her eye bags removed by plastic surgeon Jan Stanek. She also receives Botox in her forehead and a chemical peal to brighten her skin. Nicky Hambleton-Jones then persuades Emma to update her wardrobe and even manages to get her in a mini skirt. Makeup artist Ruby Hammer plucks Emma's eyebrows and gives her a light foundation that reflects the light. Finally Emma goes to see Nicky Clarke who gives her hair a new boost of life by cutting it shorter and adding some subtle colour. Emma's new poll age comes out at 29 which is eleven years younger than the original.
