Does anyone know the age?


I watch fat friends and think it's both sad and funny but i always wondered the age of Betty and her daughters. Her oldest son is 34 or 35 and her youngest son is 2 or 3. But how old is her daughters.

Well, that baffled me as well.

I think Betty's meant to be around 50 in the program, so if her sons around 34/ 35 she was around 15 when she had him, she must have waited for a while afterwards and then had Kelly around ten years later, so Kelly who's the older daughter, I think, should be around 26.

Sorry, I'm not sure the other one.

Hope I've helped.

If you think that's why you were invited - just to be laughed at. You can get out now!

She did wait a while, as her son has a different dad to Kelly, it was explored last series that Betty had a child (her son) when she was a teenager and was forced to give him up for adoption, she then later met Kelly's dad, married him and had three kids, Kelly, another daughter and then last year, her son..

Yes, I remember, I wasn't really sure, I was really just guessing.

This reply is a bit late but...

I got Fat Friends series 1 on DVD earlier this week and have now watched it all for the first time since it was originally on TV in 2000. In the last episode, where Betty finds out that she's pregnant, she has a conversation with Douglas in which it becomes clear that she is 48 and Douglas is 52, so that means she would have been 48/49 when Russell was born. I think she was about 15 or 16 when her oldest son (can't remember his name!) was born and Kelly was probably born around 10 years later. I'm guessing that her other daughter, Joanne, was about 18 or 19 in series one.

Mostly just guess work, though!
