Some will hit the gym hard; others will jump on the latest fad diet. Then there’s Guy Ritchie, the 55-year-old director, producer and screenwriter.

Pardon our French but ageing is a bastard. Stiff joints, crows feet and that little noise you make as you get up off the sofa combine to make getting old feel like an endless downwards slope. Ageing is also inevitable. But try telling this to 78-year-old Ernie Hudson, star of this year’s Hollywood blockbuster movie, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Yes, you heard it right. Hudson is almost 80, and recent pictures taken from the London premiere show that he’s giving Paul Rudd – the man who simply ref…

A crow will peck, peck and peck at the eagle. But the eagle’s wings are wide enough and broad enough that it can soar to heights the crow’s unable to reach. So, as long as you set your sights…

According to Cancer Research UK, 12,000 lives are lost a year to prostate cancer, yet there is currently still no screening programme. But that could be about to change through a new £42m project called ‘Transform’, which experts are hailing as a ‘pivotal moment in the history of prostate cancer research.’ Previous trials that used prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests to screen for the disease showed the method prevented between 8% and 20% of deaths, depending on screening regularity, acc…

12,000. That’s how many men die each year from prostate cancer, according to Prostate Cancer UK.Despite this alarming figure and the fact that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with over 52,000 diagnoses annually, the UK does not have a national screening program. This is because current blood tests are not considered accurate enough and can detect non-life-threatening forms of the disease rather than aggressive types.However, researchers believe a new at-home test could identify…

According to annual UK health figures, England saw a record number of gonorrhoea diagnoses last year, with cases rising 7.5% from 79,266 in 2022 to 85,223 in 2023. Syphilis cases also increased by 9.4%, from 8,692 to 9,513 – the highest number since 1948.Overall, sexually transmitted infection diagnoses rose by 4.7%.
