Yummy mummy, 54, looks so young her 22-year-old son gets mistaken for her boyfriend
A 54-year-old mother has such youthful looks that her 22-year-old son often gets mistaken for her boyfriend.
Pamela Jay may have 30 years on her son Marley but her luscious locks and bright clear skin make it seem she like she is a woman in her 20s.
The mum-of-one, from Yorkshire, said she is mistaken for her son’s girlfriend by strangers when the pair are out together.
Pamela, who works as a civil servant, said: “People often think I’m lying when they find out my age - sometimes people are so stunned I almost have to get out my ID to prove it to them.
"Sometimes even I look in the mirror and can’t believe I’m 54!
"I’m not sure I look like I’m in my 20s - although people do say that to me - but I feel like I could pass for mid to late 30s, and that’s how I feel energy-wise.
"My son and I went to view a property recently, and were asked if we were a couple - when I said he was my son, the estate agent went bright red and looked really embarrassed.
"He always jokes to me, ‘mum either I look really old, or you look really young!’”

Pamela has a strict beauty routine and a host of lotions, potions and vitamins that help maintain her youthful glow - but claims her secret is as simple as a jar of coconut oil.
She wakes up at six o'clock every morning to a black coffee mixed with a spoonful of coconut oil, before showering, cleansing and moisturising her face with top-of-the-range products and preparing a healthy breakfast of organic eggs and gluten free toast.
Some evenings it can take Pamela an hour to get ready for bed - with a routine that involves body brushing, showering, exfoliating - and more moisturising with coconut oil.
She added: “Often women will ask me what my secret is, and I’m happy to tell them all about my diet and lifestyle - coconut oil is my big secret weapon.
“I use it for everything - on my body, on my hair, in my food. It’s fantastic, it’s about £15 a tub and it lasts me around six weeks. It really is a miracle product.”
And as for her beauty product list, Pamela, who lives on an organic diet, revealed: "I use Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, By Terry Densiliss concealer, Nars blusher and lip gloss, Decleor micellar water and oil cleanser, Pixi Glow tonic, Liz Earle cleanser, as well as Sukin super green moisturiser, and I use Living Proof and Aveda shampoo and hair treatments.”

As well as having a super-healthy diet Pamela drinks gallons of filtered water every day, goes to weekly body conditioning and yoga classes, and does yoga stretches morning and evening with daily meditation.
She also hits the gym once a week where she has a steam and sauna, followed by freezing cold showers to keep her skin toned, along with a weekly detoxing bath filled with pink Himalayan salt crystals, and weekly face and hair masks.
Singleton Pamela said dating can be difficult as most of the men who approach her are younger.
She added: ”I’ve always looked young for my age I think, but obviously I’ve aged well.
"I think laughter’s really good for you - I have a wicked sense of humour and I’m always laughing, I try to look on the positive side of life.”
