Cancer. Homeless shelters. Forced Menopause. Two divorces. And somehow, STILL laughing. Comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri has been through more than her fair share.

Phil Wang enters the lab, spilling ALL about comedian glow-ups, ChickenMaxxing & why he’s the last cool millennial. But do his cells agree? Or is he a boomer on a biological level? He says his opinions age him... but can they age your bones?  He recalls a childhood full of snakes, floods and getting caned. But he’s tackled his demons head-on, doing therapy to help him find peace.  Him and Katherine dig into why they prefer stand-up comedy to socialising, the importance of surrounding yourself with people who hold you accountable, and if eating like a goat can keep a human’s age down.   Phil used to drink so much that every night out ended in vomit, yet these days he prefers a glass of vintage red from his temperature-controlled wine cabinet. Has his body aged like a fine wine?  Let’s see what the results have to say...  What's My Age Again? is Sponsored by wayfair.co.ukThey've got everything you need to make sure that as you grow and mature, your space does too!

30 marathons in 30 days. Seven Ironmans across seven continents. He says he loves pain...but can Spencer Matthews handle the pain of childbirth? With his wife Vogue having just welcomed their 4th child, we hooked Spencer up to a TENS machine to simulate labour contractions. Turns out extreme endurance training might not prepare you for EVERYTHING... The former Made in Chelsea star has swapped partying for extreme fitness, become obsessed with health data and developed a resting heart rate most of us can only dream of. But will his years of extreme training give him the edge, or is even Spencer Matthews capable of reaching his limit? He gets into what ageing, addiction and pushing himself physically have taught him about resilience AND reveals what actually makes him cry (spoiler : it's not the birth of his children). He also reveals why he thinks longevity is overrated, and why living to 120 is absolutely NOT on his bucket list. And then there’s the big question: can Spencer beat his wife Vogue’s famously young biological age? He says he’s not competitive. We’re not so sure.
