The Key To Living A Long Life? These 95-Year-Old Twins Have The Answer

The UK's oldest twins believe the secret to a long happy life is "no sex and plenty of Guinness" and according to their fans, the hilarious duo should have their own TV show. 

The sisters from Tipton have become overnight social media sensations after confessing their secret for a long life. They have now amassed thousands of followers. 

According to their Facebook profile, where they often share their day-to-day happenings, the ladies enjoy the theatre, going out for dinner, bingo and shopping. 

However, now, the identical twins Lilian Cox and Doris Hobday regularly share pictures and vlogs of them out and about, reviewing household items and keeping fit. 

One video shows the sisters arguing over who likes the actor Jason Statham more having revealed they have seen every Fast and Furious movie to date. 

In one scene, Lilian (who is a grandmother to thirteen and great grandmother to nineteen) can be seen flashing an image of Statham while declaring "he was a cracker" and that nobody could fight like him. 

In a recent interview which left Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield crying with laughter, the hilarious pair who turned 95 in July shared the secret behind their happy, long life with Lilian saying it was "no sex and plenty of Guinness". When asked about why they were refraining from sex, Doris simply replied, "Well, I don't have a husband!"

During the chat which aired live on ITV's This Morning, stealing the hearts of the nation, the legendary duo also claimed eating raw sausage sandwiches keeps them young, although Holly was quick to dismiss their claims fearing that they may contract food poisoning, to which they ladies swiftly replied, "NAHH!"
