I felt I had to write this letter as I am the 81-year-old Renee Ansell from TV's X-Factor.
According to the newspapers, I'm frail, crinkly and wrinkly.
I may be more than 81 years old but I'm not frail.
I have been standing for 25 years in my shop and with just three weeks off in all that time.
Wrinkly? I have no wrinkles. And crinkly? I don't know what that means.
-Renee Ansell, Hove
