The former 'Coronation Street' actress celebrated her landmark birthday back in May and has showed no signs of letting age slow her down by celebrating all that 60 has to offer, including 25 percent discounts on travel journeys.

In a post on Instagram - accompanied with a photo of herself holding a senior railcard - Denise said: "Well......it comes to us all if we're lucky!!! I'm embracing it!!! Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!!! #seniorrailcard (sic)"

Meanwhile, Denise - who was married to actor Tim Healy from 1988 until 2012 - previously vowed to keep sharing bikini photos when she's 90.

And the British star - who tied the knot for a third time, with artist Lincoln Townle, in 2013 - proudly claimed she doesn't think she looks "bad for an old bird".

She shared: "I'll be still posting bikini pictures when I'm 70 - no, make that 90.

"The reason I put out the bikini pictures is not to say, 'Look at me' - it's to say, 'Don't tell me I can't wear a bikini.'

"I get an amazing response from women.

"There's the odd body-shamer saying horrible things, but I just block them or kill them with kindness.

"I've got a tummy, a bum and cellulite but I don't think I look bad for an old bird."
