Ageless Love
Older Women
Younger Men
Barbara Windsor had a lively love life as Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders, but things have been much smoother off screen over the last decade.
She married her toyboy Scott in 2000 and the pair are still happily married, with the former Carry On star reckons her husband helps keep her young.
When Babs announced in 2009 she was quitting EastEnders, she joked: " I suppose when all’s said and done, I should spend a bit more time with my old man – as he’s not getting any younger."

Joan Collins and Percy Gibson
Joan Collins had tried marriage four times and reached the age of 68 by the time she exchanged wedding vows with Percy Gibson.
The 36-year-old theatre company manager admitted they spent time thinking about the age gap - but decided it did not matter.
He said: "I'm not going to be so naïve as to pretend we didn't spend a lot of time discussing that very issue. But it's a damn shame for two people so happy together to make the difference in age the reason for not being together."
As for Joan, she reckons age is not just a number. She said enigmatically: "I've always felt age shouldn't be a chronological issue."
