Glasgow granny says secret of living till 94 is 'doing everything you're no meant to'

A Glasgow granny says that "'doing everything you're no meant to'" is the secret to living until the amazing age of 95.

Granny Lizzie (Elizabeth Welsh), from Maryhill, is the Gran of Scottish professional drag queen, comedian and influencer Gina Gee (Gee Ritchie).

And she's been cheering people up amid the coronavirus pandemic by dishing out some advice to the young ones - as well as showcase some of her side-splitting humour to boot.

Speaking about their Gran, Gina Gee said: "We are best friends and it was horrible during lockdown only being able to see her dropping her groceries off.

"When not in lockdown we go to the pub as regular as we can for a wee dance and sing-song and she also comes to a lot of my gigs with me. She loves vodka.

She even calls me saying she's bought me new bras! She really is hilarious and everytime we put a picture or video on social media especially my Instagram thousands of people like and comment on it. She's my star".

And yet despite her new found fame, Granny Lizzie, who is battling cancer, would rather tuck into a chippy than find herself in the arms of a man.

"I said to her you're famous now you might get a man she said she would rather a fish supper.

"Granny's advice to living till this age is do everything your not meant to do."

Stay amazing Granny Lizzie! We'll keep your mantra in mind for sure!
