On Friday, the blonde bombshell took fans back three decades to 1993, aged 36, in a figure-hugging red swimsuit.

Instagrammers were left in awe at the “ageless icon” as she posted a side-by-side shot of her in the very same swimsuit, aged 66.

She wrote: “It’s so nostalgic for me to look back 30 years ago when I wore this outfit filming my TV Show… Here I am at 36 and now 66 and still feeling great.”

And fans were quick to hail the Fit Over 50 cover star as they claimed she looks “better than ever”.

One person wrote: “Still amazing! Better with time. [Ageing] like the finest Wine!”

A second agreed: “You just get better and more beautiful!”

Another added: “You haven’t aged you look fabulous.”

A fourth fan: “Looking better than ever. Not sure how you top perfection but you do every year.”

And despite their 37-year age gap, watchers struggled to tell the two apart.

One person said: “You are ageing in reverse. Does this make you 18?.”

Another agreed: “[I’ve] followed you since 25 years ago. You look like the same.”
