McCutcheon to present beauty show

Martine McCutcheon is to front a week-long show dedicated to beauty and anti-aging.

The Echo Beach star will be joined by celebrity friends and women trying out the latest beauty treatments at an exclusive location in London.

Each episode of The Truth About Beauty will investigate a non-invasive way of combating the signs of aging, while four women will undergo a six-week challenge to look younger through diet and exercise in a segment called 'Turn Back The Clock'.

The show will also see four women go under the knife in a bid to regain their looks, as well as look at women who have been voted 'Icons of Aging'.

McCutcheon will visit Paris in search of beautiful women of all ages for another segment.

She said: "I'm really excited about this series. Like most girls I'm always reading about the latest lotions and potions and I'm looking forward to really getting under the skin of the beauty industry, to find out what actually works and what's a waste of time and money."

The programme, a collaboration between UKTV Style and Glamour magazine, is scheduled to begin filming in March.

It will premiere on UKTV Style next May.
