An 85-year-old grandma has said she's looking for love after she split from her 39-year-old boyfriend.

Hattie Retroage has decided to make an account on Bumble, saying she wants to 'find some fun'.

When her marriage broke down, she was 48 years old, and ever since, she's said she only wants to date younger men.

New Yorker Hattie told Fabulous: "I'm not dating anyone now. Will be posting on Bumble, as some friends have met men there.

"I'll be starting to date again now that I can be intimate, and enjoy making love again! (at 85!)

"I'm thrilled that my sex style is turning the tide. It's not only the old guys that enjoy young women - we are turning the tide!

"Yesterday morning I got a call from a young guy in Israel to tell me he had a crush on me. So cute!"

She used to go on Tinder dates three times a week but was blocked on the app, so she's been forced to look around.

Even so, she claimed: "I have never met a man who doesn't want to f*** me."

The mum-of-two who has three grandchildren is now a life coach and writer, having trained as a dancer.

She and former lover John, 39, appeared on Channel 5 show Age Gap Love, but their relationship came to an end and she's now single again.

Hattie said: "I stopped seeing John after our Age Gap Love Tampa TV appearance. It was fun anyway.

"The comments by viewers were hilarious."

Hattie did have a few words of advice for singletons like herself.

She said: "The sex tip I'm giving people is masturbate for God's sake. You must keep the engine going whether you feel like it or not... Keep that alive."

Hattie keeps herself young at heart by staying fit, saying she has a 12lb medicine ball which she rolls across her stomach and smacks on to her chest.

She explained: "My medicine ball has been my closest companion for 35 years. It prepares my body for impact. It's great for sex because it means your body can take a lot of whatever."

The pensioner got quite saucy when asked why she likes to date younger men.

She said: "When people ask me why I like younger guys they always figure it's a hard c*** or something. I'm not saying it's not that.

"However an older man, generally - he was this, he once played rugby, he was a top football player.

"He had all those dreams and I love those dreams but he had them already.

"A young man is fired up about what the future holds and I can keep that fire burning."
