'I don't want my kids to have to bury me': Young mum Taylor reveals lengths she goes to to hide secret 'addiction'

EXCLUSIVE: With three young children and a hairdressing business to run, it's no surprise that Taylor needs something to help her get up and go in the mornings. Don't we all?

But Taylor, 27, was the first to admit that her affinity for energy drinks had gotten out of control.

Taylor and her husband Luke – who you can meet in the video above – are taking part in the Do You Want To Live Forever? experiment.

Do You Want To Live Forever? airs Mondays at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

After losing her own dad at age 40 to a heart attack, Taylor is on a mission to turn her health around for the sake of her kids.

When it came to her energy drink addiction, Taylor confessed to going as far as to pour her energy drinks into a coffee cup as a way of hiding them and stopping people knowing how many she is really consuming.

"I live off energy drinks. I love a good energy drink, whereas Luke is very conscious of what he eats," Taylor told 9Entertainment.

"I've definitely got bad habits. I'm addicted to V.

"I will start the day off with one of those, and I'll be good to go until lunchtime."

Like so many mums, Taylor is "really conscious" of what she feeds her children but is neglectful when it comes to herself.

"It comes to me and I'm like 'Oh, I'll have another energy drink.' I know how much sugar is in them but I'm a closet drinker with energy drinks.

"I'll put them in a coffee cup and take to it work. I don't want the label of being a mum with energy drinks."

In the first episode of Do You Want To Live Forever?, Taylor and Luke underwent rigorous testing to discover their biological ages.

You can watch the confronting moment in the video below:

Taylor, 27, was stunned to find out her biological age was 35 while Luke, 28, discovered his biological age was 31.

It was a huge wake up call for the couple who said there was one simple reason to turn things around – their kids.

"I want to keep up with my kids. Losing my dad at 12 is definitely the biggest motivator," Taylor said through tears.

"I don't want my kids to go through what I went through

"I don't want them to have to bury me. Not yet."

You can follow Taylor and Luke's journey on Monday at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
