Dr Hilary Jones has spoken out on how he really feels about his 17-year-age gap with wife Dee Thresher.<\/p>\n
Good Morning Britain and Lorraine’s resident medic, 70, told the How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams podcast that he manages to “keep up” with a partner almost two decades younger than him because he “pretends” he’s 30-years-old.<\/p>\n
“I’ve never felt my age actually,” he admitted to Loose Women presenter Kaye and her co-host Karen Mackenzie.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always thought of myself as the youngest one in the group and because I have five children, they keep me young. You keep fit and when you surround yourself with younger people, you also keep young by [keeping up with] the new technology and everything.<\/p>\n
“So I’ve never really felt my age and I don’t want to.” Dr Hilary continued: “You see people who act as if they’ve got one foot in the grave already. I never behave like that – it’s far better to do the opposite and pretend you’re 30 when you’re actually 70.”<\/p>\n

She does four sessions of classes a day and walks the dog and I’m lucky to have a partner that keeps me grounded and keeps me fit.”<\/p>\n Speaking of their workouts, he added: “I really enjoy the things we do together so we’ll go walking on the hill… we’re always walking and keeping busy. It’s not a competitive thing at all… we do different types of exercise. I do a little bit of squash and I do the heavy lifting in the garden, and she does the lighter stuff. We have our boundaries.<\/p>\n “She’s 17 years younger than me and that’s exactly how it should be. She’s pretty complimentary to me, I hope she means it. She always says I never consider you 70 and I don’t behave like I’m 70. I’m still a bit of a child inside…”<\/p>\n In 2016, the star married fitness expert and personal trainer Dee, his third wife.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

I\u2019m very lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n He went on: \u201cDee and I have been friends for a while but it\u2019s only in the last couple of months that we\u2019ve become an item. We\u2019re very relaxed together, laughing a lot and catching up with our friends \u2013 life is great.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr Hilary, who first met Dee when they worked together on GMTV’s Bikini Diet segment back in 2008, was previously married to Anne Marie Vives, from 1977 to 1987.
