I'm 55 but my legs make me look 30 years younger – here's my FREE nightly 15-minute ritual that keeps my pins youthful

The mum-of-three swears by having glamorous pins as the secret weapon in her anti-ageing routine.
She credits her toned, ageless legs as a key part of her overall strategy to defy the effects of time.
Taking to Instagram in a now-viral video, Sue shared her six unique hacks 'to keep her legs looking fabulous' - and there's one ritual she swears by at the end of every day.
'After a long day, I lie down and elevate my legs against the wall for 15 minutes,' she revealed.
'This reduces swelling and promotes better circulation.'
Her second unique tip is to have 'alternating showers', which means switching the water between hot and cold.
She claimed that this is a 'game changer' because it enhances blood flow to firm up the skin on her pins.
Sue also eats a high-fibre diet to give her leg skin a boost.
'Lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains help reduce water retention, keeping my legs lean and toned,' she explained.
Her fourth unique tip is to put time aside for hair removal every night.
'I always shave or wax in the evening,' she said.
'This allows any irritation to subside overnight, so I wake up with silky smooth legs.'
When hair removal doesn't totally do it, Sue also puts make-up on her legs to contour them.
'A little make-up magic goes a long way,' she recommended.
'Applying a subtle bronzer along the sides of my legs creates the illusion of length and definition.'
And finally, to exfoliate her pins, Sue creates a coffee ground scrub in her kitchen.
'I mix used coffee grounds with brown sugar and almond oil to create a natural exfoliant,' she said.
'Massaging this blend onto my legs in circular motions smooths the skin and boosts circulation.'

Laura Anderson gushes over footballer boyfriend as they mark huge milestone
Ex-Love Islander Laura Anderson posted a series of photos with her footballer boyfriend to mark their anniversary after taking on a new life as a self professed 'Wag' Influencer Laura Anderson, aged 36, took to Instagram to gush over her lover beau Clark Robertson, 31, to mark a very special occasion they're sharing together. The Scottish TV star first rose to fame in 2018 when she appeared on the hit series Love Island in search of her happily ever after. On the series, she was so close to winning the prize, coming second as part of a couple with Paul Knops. Despite their split soon after the show, Anderson soon found love again with Dane Bower and later on the Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy. It was with Lucy that she had her daughter Bonnie, before their eventual split in 2023. After all of the heartbreak, it seems Anderson finally met her match, as she poses loved-up with her Dundee Defender boyfriend, celebrating one year together. In her romantic post, the former flight attendant described her partner as her "hot man", gushing over his love for her daughter, who is turning two in September. The post reads: "Celebrating our one-year anniversary. Our love story is like no other, most of which we do not share. Your modesty for a hot man is unmatched, as is your devotion as a father. "Thank you for being yourself, thank you for being a role model to Bonnie, and thank you for always closing the fridge door behind me." Her dedicated 1.5 million followers were quick to flood the comments, sharing the love with the happy couple. One fan commented: "Isn't funny how fate has worked out! We are all so happy for you." While another person shared: "Wow its your time now, Laura. You kissed enough frogs, and Prince Charming arrived, and he seems such a gentleman xx". It seems her new lifestyle with Roberson is suiting her nicely, as she previously opened up to the Scottish Sun about learning the ways of the football world. She said: 'I guess I'm a WAG now. I actually really like football. I didn't really like it before. To be honest, it just reminded me of my dad hogging the remote when we were young, and I never got to watch what I wanted to watch. "But now I like going to the games. I think he looks very sexy, actually, because he's quite bossy on the pitch, and he's not like that day-to-day. He's such a relaxed, chilled-out guy. So on the pitch, he's always pointing, and I'm like, 'What the hell? What's going on?" Meanwhile, her footballer boyfriend keeps his own Instagram profile private and lets Laura take the limelight when it comes to social media stardom. The reality star has shared the journey with fans along the way to this one-year anniversary, posting their numerous 'staycays', holidays and home life with her daughter Bonnie, and her followers can't get enough of it.

Serena Williams fans scream she's 'too thin' in racy bikini snaps from steamy yacht shoot
Serena Williams had fans divided with her latest Instagram drop — a sultry set of bikini snaps taken during a luxe yacht getaway. The 43-year-old tennis icon, who recently flaunted her toned figure in mirror selfies, turned up the heat on Thursday as she showed off her post-retirement glow-up. In one sizzling snap, the Wimbledon champ struck a high-fashion pose with her arm raised, flaunting her abs and sculpted curves like a seasoned swimsuit model. Another photo showed her perched on the edge of the boat in a sheer sarong and bikini top, with a postcard-worthy ocean behind her. 'Me and my girls… are out in the streets tonight. But we starting here,' Serena captioned the carousel, which included a peek at her group of glam yacht companions. But while plenty praised her latest look, others were quick to sound off — accusing the superstar of changing her figure too drastically. 'She's too thin… why?' one critic asked, sparking a heated back-and-forth in the comments. As the debate raged on, some fans defended the star's new look while others said they barely recognized her. One fan chimed in, 'She's definitely not thick anymore.' Someone else added, 'They don't know that she was even thinner from 1998-2007.' Of course, many rushed to staunchly defend the superstar. 'I dunno what ppl talking about she still thick and healthy let her live,' wrote one. A different commenter posted, 'She's not too thin, her body looks like how it looked around 2013-2014.' A fierce defender fired back, writing, 'They just want to trash Serena all the time. She too thick, she too muscular, she too slim, her husband white, she bleaching her skin. 'When they see she still dark they realize it was just makeup and lighting why she looked light, they ain't have sh** to say. One thing though, Serena is living her life.' One more agreed, sharing, 'Serena could care less about her haters. If she didn't look so good, she wouldn't have any haters. Serena and her mom and sister look fabulous!' Amid all the buzz over her latest look, it's a reminder of just how much Serena's tennis legacy continues to dominate headlines—both on and off the court. The icon last claimed a Grand Slam title in 2017, winning the Australian Open, though she fell short in the US Open and Wimbledon finals twice more after that. Over her illustrious career, Serena has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles — the most by any player in the Open Era — and spent 319 weeks as world No. 1. Her most recent match came at the 2022 US Open, where she battled Ajla Tomljanovic in a grueling three-hour, three-set thriller before coming up short. Off the court, Serena balances her business ventures and philanthropy with family life alongside husband Alexis Ohanian and their two daughters. She married Reddit co-founder Alexis on November 16, 2017, in a star-studded ceremony in New Orleans But while plenty praised her latest look, others were quick to sound off — accusing the superstar of changing her figure too drastically The couple welcomed their first daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. (known as Olympia), in September 2017. They expanded their family five years later when Serena gave birth to their younger daughter, Adira River Ohanian, in August 2023. Meanwhile, Serena's older sister Venus shows no signs of slowing down — the seven-time Slam champ recently secured a wild card to compete in the DC Open at age 45. Venus, who hasn't played a tour-level match since March 2024, is proving age is just a number.
