Piers Morgan disagrees with world’s oldest person’s secret to living 117

The world’s oldest living person celebrated her 117 birthday on Friday.

Recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living person, Ethel Caterham enjoyed her birthday with friends and family.

Speaking to the ABC News, Caterham thanked for all the wishes she received for her birthday, “Thank you for all of the kind birthday wishes. Even at 117, I've had many firsts this year, from stroking a llama to holding hands with the King!”

“I've had a lovely day celebrating with my family and friends, and I look forward to seeing what next year brings!” she added.

The Guinness organization also wished her, ‘Wishing Ethel Caterham the happiest of birthdays, from Guinness World Records! Holding the GWR title for both the oldest person living and oldest woman living, is certainly something to celebrate! We hope she has a wonderful day with loved ones."

Last year on her 116th birthday, Caterham revealed the secret to her longevity: “non-confrontational approach with others.”

“Never arguing with anyone, I listen and I do what I like,” she said from her nursing home in Surrey, southwest of London, on the secret to her longevity.

However, Piers Morgan does not agree with this approach. Taking to X, the renowned broadcaster said, “I disagree."

The users on the internet took the response of Morgan humorously. One user quipped, “We all know you ain’t living to 100 let’s be real.”

Another commented, “Once you reach her age you will a point, currently you do not!”

“Retweet this on 30th March 2082!” The third one jokingly wrote.

Ethel Caterham was born on August 21, 1909, in the southern English village of Shipton Bellinger, she arrived just five years before the outbreak of World War I as the second youngest in a bustling family of eight siblings.

Today, she is a grandmother of three and a great-grandmother of five and lives in a care home in Surrey, England.
