Steps Star Faye Tozer Celebrates Milestone 50th Birthday with Confidence and 'Tweakments'
Turning 50 might seem daunting to some, but for Steps star Faye Tozer, it's a moment of empowerment and joy. In an exclusive interview, the singer dubs this new chapter "the new 40," reflecting on her thriving career, loving family, and positive outlook on aging.
Embracing Age with Gratitude and Optimism
Faye, who celebrated her 50th birthday last November, expresses deep gratitude for her health, friends, and family. "I am so, so grateful that I feel healthy, I've got incredible friends and family, I'm working and I'm blessed because getting old is a privilege," she explains. Having lost people close to her, she views each year as a blessing and feels empowered as a woman to showcase her achievements and look forward to the future.
Her secrets to feeling good include prioritizing sleep, surrounding herself with positivity, and maintaining an active lifestyle through exercise, which is part of her job. While she acknowledges her body feels different with age, she embraces pacing herself, humorously noting she won't be doing backflips or splits like in Steps' early days.
Beauty Secrets and 'Tweakments' for a Youthful Glow
Faye openly admits to using beauty "tweakments" to maintain her youthful appearance. "I cheat like the rest of them," she says. "I'm not going to lie and say I don't have tweakments, because absolutely I do." She has previously discussed procedures like Morpheus8, a radiofrequency microneedling treatment to boost collagen, and endorses the Farm Girl Facial for skin revitalization. Emphasizing that she does it for herself, not others, these treatments help her feel confident and good in her own skin.
Busy Career and Family Life in the North East
Currently, Faye is preparing for a UK-wide tour of the stage musical adaptation of Mean Girls, where she plays multiple roles, including Mrs George, Cady Heron's mum, and teacher Mrs Norbury. Inspired by Paris Hilton's style for the outrageous Mrs George character, she finds the challenge of portraying three characters simultaneously both funny and exciting.
Off stage, Faye is a doting mother to her 17-year-old son Benjamin, who lives with her in the North East when she's not touring. She has tried to interest him in the entertainment industry, but he prefers a career in engineering, away from the spotlight. Proud of his level-headed nature, she notes he has even left social media, viewing it as a time-waster, which delights her as it avoids potential issues.
Steps Band Family and Ongoing Projects
Reflecting on her band Steps, Faye describes them as a "family" of grafters, with the original lineup still intact after years. They recently launched the Steps musical Here & Now, and she values their supportive dynamic, balancing tours with home life and parenting. For now, her focus is on Mean Girls, where she sees the role as a perfect fit for a female performer of her age and background.
Mean Girls: The Musical tours the UK and Ireland until January 2027, with Faye performing until August 22, 2026. Tickets are available through official channels for fans eager to see her on stage.
