So, this week I had a B12 injection in my bum cheek. Some of you may be aware of B12 shots as a cure for the worst hangovers, with celebs queuing up for their jabs, the morning after the night before. But its powers go further. In beauty and health circles, B12 is hailed as a wonder boost for all sorts ailments.

Vitamin B12 deficiency or folate deficiency anaemia can cause a wide range of bad symptoms. These usually develop gradually but can worsen if the condition goes untreated.

Anaemia is where you have fewer red blood cells than normal or you have an abnormally low amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell. General symptoms of anaemia may include fatigue, lethargy, breathlessness, feeling faint, headaches, pale skin, palpitations, tinnitus and loss of appetite.  Further symptoms of B12 deficiency include, a yellow hue to the skin, a sore and red tongue, mouth ulcers, pins and needles, irritability, depression and a general decline in your mental abilities.

The shots are recommended for those who suffer from tiredness, lethargy, feeling faint and becoming breathless as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen in the blood.

A lack of vitamin B12 is a common cause for anaemia, but many celebrities use them for a pep me up.

Kelly Brook revealed earlier this year that she is a fan of the treatment.

She told a UK magazine: ‘A vitamin B12 shot in the bum does the job! They make you feel amazing – you go from a little bit groggy to ‘ding!’ It’s probably not that sensible though…’

Victoria Beckham has also said how much she relied on the supplement during each of her pregnancies, while Chelsea Handler has made claims for the vitamin’s aphrodisiac qualities, tweeting: ‘Guess who’s getting a b12 shot for horniness?’

They join stars Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber, who also inject the shots, according to reports. And now me.

Google your nearest clinic for more info. Expect to feel alert, energised and a huge sense of well-being. Prices range from £25.

In the UK, vitamin B12 in the injectable form is available only on prescription and should be administered under the direction of a medical professional.

Wrinkle alert!

The SS’19 Fashion Week shows have seen the return of the supermodels of the Nineties. The original and the best, in my book. Naomi, Cindy and Linda defined an era and made fashion feel like fabulous fun. Although that particular trio weren’t reunited for Milan Fashion Week, plenty of old school supermodels were back, strutting their stuff and looking better than ever.

We all know what happens when designers are preparing for fashion shows. No matter how many interviews they give in the preceding months about their passion for dressing “real women” and the joy of seeing their clothes being worn by “empowered” females, by the time the show kicks off, they inevitably revert to ‘type’. Led by teams of casting directors, they’re usually charmed by the stick thin bodies and baby faces of perfect 17-year-olds.

How refreshing then that this season wrinkles were in full effect on the catwalks of Milan. We’re talking crows feet, as well as hips, thighs and proper breasts. In particular, there was a vogue for the supermodels of the Nineties, the first-name-only faces that defined an era and made me want to work in fashion as a kid.

Versace, a supermodel factory, has always led the way. The beautiful Shalom Harlow closed the show and looked exactly the same as Shalom in 1993. At Salvatore Ferragamo, it was a similarly mature line-up, with an older looking but still perfect Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, and (now) sophisticated sex goddess Carolyn Murphy.

Dolce & Gabbana, signalling a return to its classic style of look-at-me tailoring, body-conscious dresses and tongue-in-cheek ball gowns, chose Carla Bruni and Eva Herzigova. Other vintage headliners featured included Isabella Rossellini and Monica Bellucci, to drive home the message – older, wiser, sexier.

Even the stunning Amber Valletta was a prominent force on the catwalk and she hasn’t aged one tiny bit! It’s sickening

I idolised them back then, I think we all did. But to be fair, these women have lived and loved and look all the better for it. Although there was plenty of nostalgia to indulge in, it’s great to see older ‘real’ women play their part in today’s industry. Of course they are still all exceptionally beautiful models, but there is substance and gravitas there which makes me, in consumer mode, believe there’s so much more value in this clothing.

It’s worth pointing out that New York Fashion Week, last year, was similarly senior. Credit must go to Versace again, whose spring/summer 2017 collection was rounded off with a reunion of Gianni’s girls, Carla, Claudia, Naomi, Cindy and Helena. It was George Micheal’s Freedom video all over again.

Will Paris uphold the maturity? Let’s hope.
