The influencer, who loves skincare, make-up and fashion, often preaches that ‘age is just a number’.

The grey-haired beauty, who describes herself as a ‘silver fox’, is on a mission to empower women, particularly ‘mature women’,

Posting on social media, the body confident woman shared a clip as she posed in her swimsuit, leaving many open-mouthed. 

Therese shared her clip with the caption ‘Mature women should be included in advertising, and not just thrown in as a “Token Granny!” And as for swimwear, let’s represent all sizes AND ages!!’

The curvy woman then shared her love for swimwear, but touched on the ageist advertising industry, as she said: “I love wearing swimwear, I wear it a lot.”

Therese modelled a black, floral cozzie, which she styled with a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses and a hat.

She explained that many swimwear companies don’t want to work with her to promote their products, and the ‘mature model’ assumed that her age may have something to do with it.

She continued: “I reached out to a lot of swimwear companies and I got nothing, it was crickets, maybe I was too old for them, who knows.
