Jenny Powell will wear bikinis forever

Jenny Powell has said menopause left her on the brink of depression. But she is fighting back - by wearing bikinis until she is the age 70.

"I can't believe Christie Brinkley posed in a bikini recently and got slagged off for it because she's 67. She looked unbelievable. Whether or not 'I'm still allowed' to wear a bikini is just not something I would think about.

"They discussed whether women should wear bikinis in their 50s on Loose Women once. What a load of tosh! Will I still be wearing a bikini in my 60s and 70s? Hell yeah! I'm accepting of myself and I'm going to embrace my moments of feeling great and people can take it or leave it."

She shared: "My periods were awful, I'd have to change about five times a day and I lost that much blood I became anemic. I'd struggle to get out of bed and I couldn't wait to go back to bed at night. I left it too long to get it sorted, so in the end, had to have iron infusions in hospital."

She added: "Take it or leave it! Live your life the way you want to, and never mind what other people think! I tell my kids .. in life, there are ‘no rules,’ just guidance and if your gut is telling you otherwise then go with it. The menopause journey is an interesting one and I’m constantly tweaking and adjusting my approach to living with/through it."
