Style guru Nicky Hamblton-Jones gave her fashion advice in the chatroom.

Chat Ed : Welcome to this evening's 10 YEARS YOUNGER chat with Nicky Hambleton-Jones who, with her team of experts, takes someone and gives them a complete face and body makeover in an attempt to make them look 10 years younger in just 10 days…

rach-is-ere : hi nicky
Rosie posie and alic : hey!!!!
angie : hi nicky
unabashed : Yo, nicky
pj : Thanks for a great show

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Hi everyone. Nicky here to answer all your questions!

Nilufar : Hi nicky, your show is wonderful
Gordon LA : What is your real age? I'd guess 27
anne : How old are you Nicky?
elam : how old are you?
Nikki and Sammy : Hi Nicky
megan : id say 25

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : 33

foxyoriental : how many sessions of laser treatment did she have?
clairmiles : i need that lazer treatments too!!!
Ildi Berry : Where can I go to get facial treatment I also have hair which are thick and bristly

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : In the 10 days she only had one session, but it does take 6 months to get rid of it completely.

Jay : Thats amazing. She looked fabulous
Michmich : I have had laser treatments done on my facial hair and it's the best thing I ever did !!

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Most cosmetic practices do it nowadays, we did it on Harley Street, but there are loads on the internet and Wimpole Street is really good for these places.

Nicola : I read somewhere that you are from South Africa and used to run your own Dieting clinic, do u reckon you will in future go back?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : No

Jax : Hi, Just a quick question... Do you mind me asking why you immigrated to the UK from SA?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Only to visit, my business is in the UK now and I love living here too much. I never really had the intention of emigrating. I came over when it was trendy to come to London and work for a few years, but I loved it so much I never went back!

Maria : i lived in SA 14 years think thats what ruined my skin
Allez Suisse! : Are you going to vote Dan out to save Vanessa?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones laughs
Nicky Hambleton-Jones : I have not been watching Big Brother much so I will get back to you on that.

Jeni : what made you film 10years younger?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : It was not really my idea, Maverick TV came up with it and they wanted someone with a background in nutrition and beauty. They just searched on the internet for someone to front the show and somehow found me! It was completely out of the blue!

Chatterbox : what was your favourite programme to film?
wonkeydonkey : Hey Nicky! Who do you think has been the most successful 'contestant' to date?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Hmm, I think my favourite show was the Wendy show - that was the most fun, but Kerry was also great to film. They were all great to do but Kerry and Wendy were my favourites and Sue was really sweet as well!

Angel-Babe : is it very difficult convincing people to let go of their own style?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Umm in real life not usually, but on the show it was difficult as we have to ask for their opinions on their clothes so all the pent up aggression comes out sometimes, but every outfit you saw they were happy with.

rach-is-ere : Is it difficult to criticise how somebody looks?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : It can be difficult to criticise people, but constructive criticism is fine. I am criticising them to help them look ten years younger.

irene : do they get emotional, it always seems so controlled

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : They are on the programme because they want to do that so they understand why I have to say these things.

Caren : do many people cry when you criticise them?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : No NEVER! It has never happened - I am not that vicious! I just want them to look great and there is always a positive outcome in the end so no tears I am afraid.

Aislinn : I told my mum she needs a face lift as she is getting old..now she isnt talking to me.It was during the show.what should i do? irene : my daughter says that to me every week!!!!

Nicky Hambleton-Jones laughs
Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Awww just say sorry and treat her to a beauty treatment this weekend!

Medra : Nicky, Will there be more '10 years younger'? Seeing as today's was the last one? When will the next lot be on?
Caren : when will the show be back on? we think it is fab!
stooshee : Will there be another series of 10 years younger?
Heidi : When is the next series?
audrey : will there be another series nicky?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : We really hope so, it is C4's call though. If anyone is interested then please do write in.

babyt : awwwww i really hope theres another one i never knew that was the last one :(

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Both Maverick TV and myself would like to do another series and we could do so much more with the programme and really build on the first series.

gramps : hey, can you make men look 10 years younger?
alicxs : does it work for men too?
jo : so can guys come on the programme?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : We had a man on the show – Richard. We made him look ten years younger in ten days.

EmilyM : i like men!!

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : But men normally age better than women so it is hard to find ones to do, but we would love to do more men if we have another series.

danni : when you were little, did you dream about presenting, and what would have been your ultimate dream, when you were little

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : I had never thought about presenting before to be honest. I have always been passionate about fashion and I only did the show because I was asked out of the blue and because I love fashion and beauty so much. My dream when I was younger was to be a ballet dancer.

Daisy Duke : Any idea if laser treatment can be gotten on NHS, it looked very expensive?
Deborah : Help!!!!! what’s the average cost of the laser hair removal

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : It depends what the treatment is for, but only for medical reasons. Average cost depends on what you have removed. It can be around £300 per treatment but it can be up to £5000. if it is something that bothers you that much it is such a great investment.

Jax : Have you ever been victim to some of the cosmetic surgery we see on the show?
eli : Would you ever resort to plastic surgery?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : I have never had anything done. I just use moisturiser and sunscreen everyday. Right now I would not do it, but if I got to the stage that I was like some of the people on the show then I would do what they did and get it done in an instant. Right now I do not need it thankfully!

10YearsYoungerCampGu : Do you think a celebrity special of 10 Years Younger would be a good idea? I do!
Caitlin2 : If you could pick any celebrity to transform in Ten Years Younger who would you choose?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : A celebrity would be a great idea, but it is really hard to find a celeb that does not look great and who is prepared to go on camera, but it would be a good idea. I would probably choose Judy Finnigan.

lena : how bout tony blair?
hkhome : I vote Mick Jagger for 10 years younger
Gordon LA : Jo Brand
rachael : what about peter stringfellow
kate e b : kim and aggi would be good
rach-is-ere : i think OZZY ozbourne

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : I think she could look really great if I styled her.

Maddison : What is the one single thing you should concentrate on to stay young?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : The main thing is to wear sun protection everyday and DO NOT SMOKE!

Annemarie : Nicky, are the people made to look older at the beginning of the show?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Trust me that is how they look.

stooshee : Scary!

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : They may not have any make up on so they are in their raw state but that is really how they look

Chat Ed : Our half hour with Nicky is almost up, so last few questions now...

scarlet : In 26 but am always mistaken for 16! Any tips on how to look 10 years OLDER?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Wearing glasses can be good - if you look younger you are blessed. Cutting your hair short can help and dressing a certain way can help. High heels also work if you are short.

BigMunky : Where did you get those glasses?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : I bought them about six years ago from a glass frame shop in Regent Street called Alain Mikli - he is from Paris but I do not know if he is still around.

Caitlin : Nicky, who do you think in the whole series was the best makeover completely?

Nicky Hambleton-Jones : Tough one! I think Wendy looked amazing. She looked like a really posh and sophisticated woman, but I think they all looked great.

Chat Ed : That's it! Thanks for coming and talking to us Nicky!

Katie : I am my ideal weight, I'm just too short
irene : gonna apply for the next series
Nikki and Sammy : cya
michael : cya
lluuccyy : bye!
