The oldest contestant on the programme so far has been Prime Minister Boris Johnson's dad Stanley, who starred in the 17th series back in 2017, aged 77.
Do they have kids?
Arlene and Angus have one child together.
They have one daughter, Abigail who was unexpectedly born in 1990.
In 2017, Arlene revealed she was made to feel like a "freak" when she fell pregnant with Abigail at such a late age - having had her at the age of 47.
Speaking to Closer, she said: "[I was told] I was some kind of freak, that I would find it hard to bond with my baby when I could be the grandmother."
Arlene has one other daughter from an earlier relationship, Alana.
In April 2018, Alana had tied the knot to fiancé Henry Stewart.
Arlene revealed the news to her fans on Instagram, writing that she was "so happy".
Sharing a gorgeous picture of the bride and groom, Arlene wrote: "Spreading the news! My beautiful daughter got married today. I'm so happy. #proudmum #beautifulday #newinlaw #weddinghappiness #importantthingsinlife".
Alana is Arlene’s eldest daughter and works as a makeup artist.
