Truly something to shout about!

This just in. Lulu has complained of having to stand on the London Underground. The 70-yearold posted a picture of herself journeying on the Tube to the O2 Arena, where she is on tour with Take That.

i say complain. What i really mean is brag. For what Lulu really means is that she looks so peachy and babeliciously young, no one thought to give up their seat for her. And the thing is, she’s right!

‘On the way to work,’ she wrote, ‘and nobody gave this old bird a seat on the Tube.’

Perhaps that’s because Lulu has devoted most of her life, and perhaps many thousands of pounds, in the pursuit of youthful looks.

in this, she has been wildly successful. The only thing that looks better than her after seven decades on the planet is the old BBC Television Centre in London, and it’s just had a facelift. The building! Not Lulu.

Look at our girl! she was born within months of Richard Gere, Meryl streep, Kraft Cheese singles and Jeremy Corbyn — and she wears it better than any of them, give or take a toastie.

Like Gloria hunniford, Lulu discovered early that one of the secrets to looking fabulous is to marry your hairdresser (although she divorced John Frieda in 1991, she still goes to his salon). And she never goes to sleep without removing every scrap of make-up, which must take hours.

But the glorious thing that keeps Lulu young at heart is her attitude. You have to admire a seventysomething taking public transport to perform at a concert in front of thousands. Take that, indeed.
