Joanna Page has revealed she just got her ears pierced aged 46 as she shared new pictures of her new jewelery on her Instagram page.
The 46-year-old Gavin and Stacey actress seemed thrilled with her new piercings as she revealed she got them done on Saturday after plucking up the courage.
Joanna shared three selfies of her smiling face with the piercings in view, along with the caption: “It's never too late to get a piercing. What a way to start the weekend.”
The photos showed Joanna wearing two pairs of earrings, a dangling pair as well as a pair of diamond stud earrings.
It's unclear if Joanna got both piercings at the same time, but most likely only the second studs were new.

Joanna traveled to Rook Piercing Studio in Henley On Thames, Oxon, to treat herself to the new piercings.
Joanna's friends and fans applauded her decision, with one person writing: “I got my nose pierced a few weeks ago and I'm 63. You go girl.”
Others said: “Looks neat” and “I don't think Bryn would approve and I'll tell you why.”
Another person urged her to film another Gavin and Stacey series, writing: “Don't bother, go back to Barry and start filming our much needed new series.”
Her famous friend Katie Piper gushed: “I love it.”
The television star has been spotted wearing earrings before, but it is unknown whether they were real earrings or clip-on earrings.
It comes just after Joanna dashed fans' hopes of a Gavin and Stacey comeback, declaring the iconic sitcom is unlikely to ever return.
Fans hoped that co-writer and star James Corden's return to the UK after hosting The Late Late Show in the US for eight years would increase the chances of making another Christmas special.

And after James, 45, was spotted meeting co-creator Ruth Jones, 57, in London's Soho earlier this month, speculation grew.
But Joanna, who played Stacey in the sitcom, says the chances of the comedy returning are slim because her last appearance in 2019 left her on the ultimate cliffhanger as Nessa, played by Ruth, James' character Smithy proposed marriage, but he never gave in to give her an answer.
Speaking exclusively to Web, Joanna said: “I can imagine they'll never do it again because it was nice to leave it on a cliffhanger because it's up to the viewer to imagine what would have happened.” I So I can imagine that's how they end it.'
Despite her doubts, Joanna still holds out hope of reprising her role alongside her co-stars, including husband Mathew Horne, as well as Larry Lamb, Alison Steadman, Rob Brydon and James and Ruth.
She said: “I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get the call, and I wouldn't be surprised if I did.”
“But all I can say is, if they were to do another one, I hope it happens soon because we’re all getting so old. I don’t necessarily want Stacey to get that much older.”

“And if there is a comeback, I will find out about it at the same time as the public because I won’t be told anything.”
She added: “Gavin and Stacey's children would be teenagers now so that would be pretty funny to see.”
Joanna reflects on her time on the sitcom, which first aired in 2007, and describes how much her life has changed since the first episode, when Gavin and Stacey met on a blind date – without having seen each other before.
She said: “If you did it today it would be completely different.”
“It all started with a phone call between Gavin and Stacey, but now if it had all been done via email or a Zoom call, you certainly wouldn’t be sitting there chatting on the phone.”
“There was also smoking in nightclubs. It’s so funny because it wasn’t that long ago, but life has changed so much.”
