WHERE you live in the UK can determine how long you'll live.
More than 10 years separates the average life expectancy between different parts of the country.
Boys born in Blackpool last year have a life expectancy of 73.9 years, according to new figures from the Office for National Statistics.
Boys born in Hart, Hampshire, meanwhile, have a life expectancy of 84.6 years. That's a difference of 10.7 years, the largest life expectancy gap in the UK.
