Sherrie Hewson refuses to go out without makeup and would rather "bury herself in her back garden".
Sherrie Hewson refuses to go out without wearing makeup.
The 74-year-old actress has been a mainstay on British television for decaes but insised that she would rather "bury [herself] in the back garden" than go out with a bare face.
She told MyWeekly: "I would rather bury myself in my back garden than go outside without make-up on. I love to go full face glam and describe my style as a bit of everything."
The former 'Benidorm' star added that one of her "pet hates" in life is being called old, and tries to take inspiration from her late mother when it comes to ageing.
She said: "Being called a pensioner or senior citizen is one of my pet hates. It infers you’re past it and that’s rubbish. I don’t want to be treated in a certain way because of my age.
"My mum was 89 when she died. But up until near the end, she went out dancing every night, she sailed, she went on skiing holidays. She never thought, 'Oh, I’m a certain age so I mustn’t do that any more!'"
The former 'Coronation Street' actress that it is "important" that others do the same, and insisted she will never let anything like age get in the way of what she really wants to do.
She added: "I think it’s important that we all stand up and say and do the same. We must stop being so timid and downtrodden. Get out there, do what you want! Go bungee-jumping if it’s what you’ve always dreamed of! Don’t ever let anyone stop you from being who you are."
