HOW SHE DOES IT!

TV presenter GLORIA HUNNIFORD, 76, thinks that ageing should never hold you back. ‘I remember being younger and thinking my mum was old at 45, but now I’m in my 70s and active, fit and enjoying life. I look back and can’t believe I thought that,’ she says. Her work also plays a large part in keeping her feeling youthful. ‘Retirement is not in my vocabulary. I’m lucky to love what I do – it keeps me stimulated – and I hope through that I’m keeping my brain and body active.’
