Elaina Smith has a wise head on her seven-year-old shoulders - which is why she is Britain's youngest agony aunt.

She rang a phone-in on her local radio station and told a woman caller who had just been dumped to go bowling with friends and drink a mug of milk. Her advice was such a hit Elaina was given a weekly slot on Mercia FM's breakfast show.

Now she gives tips on everything from ending a stale relationship and how to get a man to dealing with lazy older brothers.

Elaina, from Coventry, said: "I really enjoy it. I say whatever comes into my head and people like what I say. I used to want to be a vet, but now I want to be on the radio."

Her mum Karen Harris, 31, added: "Elaina's dad and I separated. She's always trying to set me up with people in town.

"I'm happy being single but if I do need advice I know who to ask."

Elaina's top lifestyle tips

When one listener wrote to Elaina asking how to get a man, the street-wise seven-year-old replied: "Shake your booty on the dancefloor and listen to High School The Musical."

Another girl asked what she should do about her lazy older brother. Elaina answered: "Tell him to get a job and stop watching Loose Women on the telly."

When a woman asked how to get her man back, Elaina told her: "He's not worth the heartache. Life's too short to be upset with a boy."

And on dumping a fella, Elaina told a listener: "Just hide in someone's locker or the changing rooms."
