Sophie is in her mid forties and says she’s finally shed her inner critic and found a new power. She tells Katherine she’s more confident on stage now than she ever was in her twenties and says the resurgence of her hit single Murder on the Dance Floor has been wonderful and rejuvenating.

Her mother, Janet Ellis (famous for presenting Blue Peter in the 1970s) has taught her how to age well but she’s still worried having 5 kids may push her biological age into triple figures.

Her love of music, she says, has kept her playful and her and Katherine discuss if dancing is like having sex in a long-term relationship; you have to keep doing it, even when you don’t always feel like it.

Dr Nichola praises her for her diet and they all discuss the benefits of Sophie’s unusual, fermented rider request. Nichola talks about music and the science behind how it can reduce your biological age. Plus why Sophie’s pandemic kitchen disco not only kept her young but probably reduced the biological age of anyone who joined in.

Sophie’s new album, the aptly named ‘Perimenopop’ is out on September 12th pre order here
