Whats her secret?

Watching a programme from a couple of years ago, shes doing some walk with other celebs. Shes 73 in the programme!!! She looks like shes 20 years younger

She's full of energy, enthusiasm, so happy and positive

Im a right misery in comparison and decades younger.

I saw her a couple of years ago in a supermarket in Camden. She definitely looks a lot younger than her age and she was colourfully dressed. I guess her whole career has been based on her bubbly and happy personality.

She was briefly married to a gay Australian, the way he tells it it was a non stop party!

I saw her in the street in London, so many people were waving at her and saying hi, she stopped for selfies with lots. I was with a school party and she was so friendly to them (they hadn't a scoobie who she was).

The joy just shines out of her. @PottingBenchdidn’t know she had featured on a Pilgrimage: I’ll watch that - thanks for the link.

Lovely to read such heartening comments 🙂

Forni-ca-TOR ! 🤣

I find her horribly irritating. But nice that she does good works for charity without shouting about it.

She is totally manic! But I do sometimes wonder if she does not go flat when in the privacy of her own home and there is a sad person underneath.

I’m a sunny side up person, and a friend (who is Negative Nelly) once said to me “it must be hard work keeping up the act all the time”. Honestly… I’m just naturally happy! And I realise how lucky I am, too.

Fab user name!

She never had any children and said she preferred "panto to potties". I think not having that huge responsibility, retaining a lot of freedom to have fun and your own independence helps keep you young.

I was only thinking about this the other day for some reason! There was a slight tinge of sadness to her character too was t there as the others slightly looked down on her. Su played it brilliantly

My own recent “appears decades younger than they actually are” was Samuel West. I was watching his birdwatching programme with Ade Edmondson and ended up down a Wikipedia rabbit hole with both of them, and was flabbergasted that Sam will be 60 this year. Obviously makes sense with the age of his parents but I know 40 year olds who look older than that. Lucky him!

He does! Plus he seems like a genuinely nice person. I know he's been really lovely to fans when filming All Creatures Great and Small.

Why is it negative? People that are always ‘on’ can drain the life out of others although it’s not intentional.!Thats how she comes across.

I’ve just read this entire thread with my brain more befuddled with every post. I kept thinking “I don’t get it. I don’t dislike her but I’m not feeling this love for her”

Then the penny dropped. I thought the discussion was about Eve Pollard! 😂

Surprised nobody has mentioned Benidorm. She only did a Christmas special but was brilliant in it (although it was also one of the saddest things I've ever seen on TV - not for reasons related to Su though!).

I would love a Su/Timmy Mallet/Mr Motivator collab. Three absolute legends.

I was once incredibly confused by Vogue Williams not being Venus Williams.

I find negative people far more draining.

Yours are the only negative comments on this thread BTW.

She's a sociopath so she doesn't have the same worries as a standard person.

But I see that - as usual - no-one else has noticed.

Su Pollard?

Wtf?
Can you explain your diagnosis?

Were you watching Pilgrimage? She was wonderful in that series- so warm and full of life?

I saw her live a few years ago. She was hilarious.

Strikes me as someone who is grateful for the opportunities that being in a successful sitcom has given her.
