Is this the hottest pensioner in Britain? Meet the 65-year-old bikini siren who is the UK’s oldest glamour model
MARRIED Suzy Monty, from Cornwall, says she often gets approached by men in their 20s who think she's gorgeous
MEET Britain's oldest glamour model - pensioner Suzy Monty, who looks better in her bikini than many women in their 20s.
The 65-year-old stunner, who takes inspiration from actress Helen Mirren, is a slim size 10 and 5ft 7''.
She originally worked as a model throughout her 20s and 30s before giving it up after suffering from a bad bout of glandular fever.
However, she returned to the profession in her 40s, after seeing a snap of Helen Mirren in a bikini, and has been working ever since.
She explained: "I missed modelling but didn't consider going back to it until I saw Helen on the beach.
"I thought, 'I'm 57 and my body is as good as hers'."
Following her return to modelling, Suzy told how she initially found it difficult to find work as she didn't fit the typical 'granny' image.
She told how one modelling agency "missed the whole point" that she was an older woman looking young for her age.
Now she has been taken on by another one that utilises her niche.
Although happily married to husband John, 66, for more than 40 years, Suzy admitted she gets plenty of attention from admiring younger men - some as young as 20.
She told magazine: "Girls ask me for pictures for their granddads and I get 20-something men calling me gorgeous.
"They like that I'm an old lady with a younger body."
"Modelling is my passion. It may look glamorous but actually it is hard work if you want to get to the top of the profession.
"Keeping a level head has helped. Parts of the modelling industry can be a tad egotistical."
