A woman who turned 109 has revealed the secret to her long life. The secret is nothing fun. The woman identified as Nellie Wright, who has never had a husband or even a boyfriend , explained: "I've stayed away from men all my life - full stop."
"That's my secret, no men. And living off jelly babies - I eat a packet a day."
Originally from Leeds, West Yorks, Miss Wright also lived in Lancashire for 51 years and worked for her father who owned a bespoke clothing business.
The aged woman who just celebrated her incredible milestone with a champagne party with friends and fellow residents at her care home recently has lived without a man all her life.
Miss Wright added: "I think it's marvellous that I've been able to live this long.
"I had a wonderful party and I've had a wonderful life."
Remarking on the milestone achievement, Care manager Tracy Wood, described Miss Wright, from Scarborough, North Yorks, as "quite particular".
Ms Wood said: "She had a party on Sunday, April 17 which was her actual birthday - we had champagne and the Mayor came to visit. She just had a really good day."
Miss Wright has also attributed her longevity to health and fitness and enjoying going on walking holidays.
