Some might turn to the latest scientific findings or dietary advice to help them prolong their life expectancy.

But Gladys Gough, who has reached an incredible 103 years old, puts her longevity down to her single status.

The centenarian from Stoke-on-Trent says she couldn't be bothered with men and has never had a boyfriend, let alone married or had children.

But the life-long singleton maintains its her avoidance of the opposite sex which could be the secret to her long and healthy life.

'I always eat my dinner. I've always made sure that I've eaten well,' she said.

'I never got married or had a boyfriend either. That probably had something to do with it. I just couldn't be bothered with men.'

She was born in Brighton Street, Stoke, in 1908 to mum Alice and dad Harry, a dairy owner and milkman.

Her brother died when he was young but Gladys was extremely close to her elder sister Edna, who also never married and died in 1997 aged 85.

Guess I'm destined to die young, then. Meh.

She might just have something there. Wish I'd knew that beforehand.

She must be a lonely old lady or she likes pussy, pot and booze and just forgot to tell us about it

So, those of us with the danglers should avoid women, drink more booze, never smoke crack of a vertical nature and we'll grow to that age? NO THANKS! Run me over tomorrow!
