2. Samantha and David
Recently qualified Kentish beauty therapist Samantha Harris, 41, dreams of working in a top salon - but hammering the sun-beds and cigarettes has left her with a bulldog frown, saggy eye-lids and wrinkly skin. Meanwhile, ex-navy lad David Yule, 58, is on the hunt for romance, but a 43-year smoking habit has left him with a gaunt face and weathered skin. He may have the body and the energy of a man half his age, but Londoner David needs to recapture his youthful days. It's up to Myleene and the team to drag this drab duo back a decade, turning saggy into sassy and grizzled into chiselled.
3. Susan and Helen
For 29-year-old mum-of-three Helen, life should be about looking good and feeling great. But clad in baggy t-shirts and plagued by a catalogue of skin problems, Helen is in dire need of some youthful sparkle. Standing at the school gates with the other mums highlights how prematurely she has aged. Meanwhile, 53-year-old Susan from Sussex is ready for change. Her white and grey hair gives her an OAP appearance and she has been offered a free bus pass on many occasions. Can a wardrobe overhaul and some dazzling non-surgical treatments help Helen get her groove back? And will some super surgery awaken a sexier Susan?
4. Marie and Jenni
For Dartford's Marie, gravity has taken its toll. While she still enjoys lots of male attention, these days it's not always for the right reasons, and wolf whistles are a distant memory of the past. Having lost her looks to life in the fast lane, and fags and booze, Marie needs to do something fast to return to the glamour of years gone by. Shedding the pounds has left Northampton's Jenni playing catch-up when it comes to anti-ageing. In the past she never really cared much for fashion and beauty, but now she harbours aspirations of owning her own catering company and her image needs an overhaul. But will non-surgical methods provide enough magic for Jenni to turn back the clock?
5. Sybil and Karen
Sporty Sybil, 61, has the body of a woman half her age; but her face looks double it. Spending over 25 years on the bowling green under the intense South African sun, has left her looking more elderly than effervescent. With dreams of mixing with the fashion conscious, Sybil needs to make a few drastic changes to her appearance to ensure she looks the part. Meanwhile, 38-year-old customer services manager Karen has let herself go. Cutting her own hair, and living by a wash-and-go beauty regime, has resulted in a ragged look that is crying out for help. From the roots of her greying mane, all the way down to her slip-ons, Karen needs a re-vamp. Can the team retrieve her youthful sparkle?
6. Dawn and Sheila
Droopy eyed Dawn is in need of some serious DIY. This B cashier would rather hide away in the basement than face her public, wearing clothes that are two sizes too big and being mistaken for a 60 year old that was alive during the war. Shaggy haired Sheila used to be a hairdresser, however it wasn't her disastrous two-tone hairdo that made her look as out of place as a bald man at a barbers; compared to all the fashionable young stylists she worked with, her face simply didn't fit.
