Despite the fact that he is 32 years younger than Joan, she has made fun of their age difference in interviews by saying, “If he dies, he dies.”
Bruno Tonioli, star of Strictly Come Dancing, was among the many celebrities that attended the charity event with the pair.
Wearing a mesh vest, white slacks and a grey blazer with a vibrant floral pattern, the ballroom judge attracted attention.
Brenda Blethyn, an 80-year-old actress and two-time Oscar contender, was also present and looked extremely young in a chic shirt dress.
TV star Lizzie Cundy, on the other hand, flaunted her long legs and cleavage in a bold performance while wearing a plunging yellow gown with a thigh-high split.
Following her declaration that she would “never dream” of using weight-loss medicines due to the “disastrous” repercussions on people’s appearance, Joan went on a glamorous outing.
Millions of people have taken weight-loss medications like Wegovy and Ozempic in recent years.
The Golden Globe winner, however, stated that she will not be doing the same and that she believes those who wish to shed a few pounds should just “cut down.”
She stated, “I don’t believe in needles and things,” in an interview with Hello! magazine. I’ve never had Botox or any other facial procedure.

The ballroom judge (shown with Juliet Mayhew) attracted attention with her mesh vest, white trousers and grey blazer with a vibrant floral design.
“I’d never dream of doing something like that,” she continued on Ozempic. I’ve seen far too many terrible faces.
I believe that cutting back is necessary if you want to reduce weight. You wish to have fun in life. Living on a celery stick is not what you want to do.
Percy is the longest-lasting of Joan’s five husbands, all of whom have been extensively recorded over the years. They were married in February 2002 at Claridge’s Hotel in London.
She quipped to Jonathan Ross in 2020 that her marriage to Percy had lasted as long as the other four marriages put together, making fun of her turbulent past love life.
In 1952, at the age of 19 and 33, she wed her first husband, Irish actor Maxwell Reed.
They separated for two years before getting divorced in 1956. She subsequently dated producer Arthur Loew Jr. for two years before falling in love with Warren Beatty, who was not yet well-known.
In 1960, the two got engaged, but the following year, they broke up due to his reported extramarital activities.
After that, in 1963, she wed singer-songwriter Anthony Newley, with whom she had two children, Alexander, 60, and Tara, 62. They divorced in 1971.
After that, Joan wed former Beatles manager Ron Kass in 1972. They had a 53-year-old daughter named Katyana before divorcing in May 1983.
In 1985, she had a brief 13-month marriage to former singer Peter Holm, which caused a rift with her sister Jackie, who disliked him.
Brenda Blethyn, an 80-year-old actress and two-time Oscar contender, was also present and looked extremely young in a chic shirt dress.

In 2000, she first connected with Percy on the set of the play Love Letters, which he produced. They bonded on their “shared values.”
In 2018, she wrote in the Daily Mail: “We clicked right away.” He was charming, humorous, and attractive. I used to hang out with him, my daughter Katy, and my co-star George Hamilton after the show.We bonded like family and laughed a lot.
“Even though Percy is thirty years younger than me, it didn’t matter because during that six-week theatre tour, our friendship grew.”
After her contentious divorce from Peter, Joan said that she had “declared that I never wanted to marry again,” a decision she maintained until she met Percy. “Ultimately, friendship, mutual respect, values, and understanding are what binds a relationship,” Joan stated. “Percy and I were fortunate to work together first, become friends, and harbour feelings for one another from a distance.”
“As Percy said on the day that we were married, we are each other’s “accomplices in mischief, comrades in arms, confessors, confidants, bold leaders and devoted supporters, and very best of friends,” she said, concluding that Percy was her “soulmate” and “best friend.”
He is both my rock and my soulmate. Fortunately, my intuition informed me that this man would be my lifelong partner when we made the decision to get married.
