Viewers of BBC's The One Show have been left stunned by fashion icon Twiggy's "ageless" appearance during her guest spot on Monday evening.
The legendary model, now 75, joined filmmaker Sadie Frost on the programme to discuss their upcoming documentary, which marks the first time the fashion icon has ever told her life story on film.
The documentary features interviews with several notable figures, including Joanna Lumley, Paul McCartney, and Stella McCartney - leaving the star to recall an embarrassing interview with Woody Allen when she was just 17 during her time on the show.
The model explained it happened during her first trip to America, where she was "part of the British invasion," with Allen, then an unknown comedian, asking her about her favourite philosopher during an interview in front of an audience.
"It was horrible, I was so humiliated because I didn't know any!" Twiggy laughed before admitting she turned the question back on Allen, explaining: "I didn't plan to, I was in panic, that came out of panic. I just didn't want to cry."
Twiggy also shared touching reflections about her father's influence on her early career and said: "My dad was from Lancashire, he was very down to earth, very grounded, very loving, and he didn't take any nonsense, but, he was kind."

She needed his permission to leave school for modelling: "He was amazing because he said, 'Listen, this might only last for three months, but if I don't give you permission to leave, you might end up resenting me, even hating me.' It was quite wise, actually.
"My dad's always with me. He's always on my shoulder. I loved him; he was amazing."
Fans took to social media expressing disbelief at Twiggy's youthful looks, with many questioning how she maintains her appearance.
One viewer tweeted: "Twiggy is stunning! How does she never age? Can't believe she's 75?? Looks more like 55."
