"When you're old, you don't give a toss what anyone thinks, really, so you feel very free. You can have a snooze in the afternoon, and ****** ody thinks that's odd."
Dame Prue Leith is celebrating her perceived joys of the golden years as she prepares to discuss "Growing Old Disgracefully" with fellow authors Gyles Brandreth and Kathy Lette.
The trio will take to the stage at this year's Cheltenham Literature Festival on 15 October to prove to the audience ageing is "not the dreaded thing" it is made out to be, the former Bake Off judge said.
Dame Prue added: "You come into your own, you don't care what people think, you're not going to change. And so the world has to just put up with it."

Tattooists say "bottomless tattoo" events are devaluing their craft, as removal specialists report growing demand from people wanting tiny tattoos erased.
Chantale Coady-McCombs, owner of Picture House Tattoo Studio in Chippenham, Wiltshire, said the rise of "micro tattoo bottomless brunch studios" had led to more clients needing help to fix or cover unwanted artwork.
The concept allows customers to book a set amount of time with an artist and get as many small tattoos as they want during the session.
BBC News has approached a number of studios offering bottomless tattoos for comment.
Tanya Buxton, owner of Paradise Tattoo Studio in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire said: "It's encouraging irresponsibility."
