Stewart also admits to pampering himself with facials but it's health, not the fear of aging that inspires him. "I don't give a toss about getting older. I like it as long as I'm healthy," he said. "My skin is good because I've had a facial every week for 30 years. I started when I was with my first wife [Alana Hamilton]. Back then it was just me and a load of women at the beauticians. Now they're getting the men in too. I was the trailblazer for all that men's grooming stuff."

He also says that in his wilder days, his love of football (or as Americans call it, soccer) kept him on the right path. "Football always kept me straight," he said. "I'd never drink on a Saturday night because I'd be playing a match on the Sunday. I've been on a team all my life. I play now in an over-50s veterans' league. We have 30 players so you're on for one half and then off, but it's still 45 minutes of running around a pitch." - more on this story
