Veteran actress Joan Collins has vowed never to go under the knife - because she is convinced ageing women who turn to cosmetic procedures look 'ghastly'.

The former Dynasty star, 75, insists she is proud of her imperfections and would never consider turning to surgery to fix them.

She says, "I've seen many, many women who've done it and (they) look absolutely ghastly. They don't look like themselves.

I quite like the way I look, I'm quite happy with the way I look and I really don't want to change it.

"In front of the camera it (my skin) probably isn't nearly as good as it used to be. But, I mean, what the hell, everybody's got to get older.

I think there's something rather terrifying about people who are in their 50s or 60s trying to look 30 or 40." (c) WENN
