The GRANNY who can do the SPLITS at 71: It looks eye-watering. But Carol insists ANYONE can learn to do it - even you!

Retired singer Carol Smith (top), from Bletchley, can still do the splits but only learnt how to do them when she was in her early 40s.


She says she still intends to be doing them when she's 90. Jane Sleven, 68, from Hove (bottom right), is also able to get both legs on the floor. Meanwhile, Jody Lawrance, 55, from East Grinstead, West Sussex (bottom left), learnt to do the splits after she trained herself to become a yoga teacher. The grandmothers say that being able to do them has boosted their confidence.
