Comic Relief viewers stunned at host Lenny Henry’s age as Red Nose Day raises £52m

COMIC Relief fans were left marvelling at how young Sir Lenny Henry looked as he hosted the epic fundraiser last night.

The star, who was Blob on The Masked Singer, is 62 but many insisted he hadn’t aged for years.

One wrote: “They say laughing keeps you young. Want proof, look at Lenny Henry, he doesn’t seem to age.”

Another asked: “How old is Lenny Henry? Looks about 35.”

A third posted: “Lenny Henry is 62 ffs , has he found the fountain of youth or something?”

The star was present for the whole of the marathon Comic Relief fundraiser across the BBC’s channels last night.
