In this article it is showing a positive and negative representation on age. The reason for this is because of the words used in the headline 'A true professional', by using the word professional it adds class and authority to the subject, which in this case is Ferne Mcann from the TV series TOWIE. Evidently this is showing a positive representation of Ferne and her age because as it states in the first few introductory lines, she is 23 years old. To be classed as a professional at the age of 23 is very rare as it is often associated with people who have been is a certain profession for a number of years and worked their way up through different stages.

Stereotypically at the age of 23, many girls want to look a certain way and be recognised for it and therefore Ferne is representing an image a whole generation wants to look like and in that aspect and to younger women, this article would appeal to them because they are interested in her and how she has changed her body and therefore engage with personal identity - being able to relate to her story and emphasise with how and why she has done what she has done. Body image and looks play a huge part in society and either in for the male gaze or personal identity and therefore any article to do with body images and weight will have strong opposing opinions.

On the other hand, it is showing a negative representation of age and gender because she is being objectified by wearing underwear, which also creates a sexualised image and the words in the headline 'killer tan' and 'sexy' contribute to the objectification of the subject.

As a whole, the article is showing Ferne in a positive light and giving her recognition for her work and success and therefore giving the audience (16-25 year olds) an enforced feeling about the story because the way they have described her is highlighting good points and not criticising her.
