Melissa and Peter Ashcroft, from Liverpool, have found themselves at the centre of attention for reasons that go far beyond fashion or style. With Melissa’s eye-popping figure turning heads wherever she goes, the pair are now weighing up an eyebrow-raising way to cash in on the public’s obsession

Peter has said he is used to turning heads when he’s out with his wife, Melissa. The 30-year-old woman’s 36M chest, believed to be among the largest natural busts in Britain, has been attracting stares from strangers and unwanted advances from men.

“Creeps” reportedly fill her inbox daily with bizarre requests, including offers to buy her used bras.

While Peter, 26, admits he finds the messages “absolutely sickening”, the couple have decided to reconsider their stance after realising there’s serious money to be made from these admirers, The Sun reported. “I have been told I should make an [account on a popular adult content platform], which is something I’m seriously debating,” Melissa said.

The stay-at-home mum added: “I’m super desperate to make money.” For years, Melissa has been living with “crippling pain” caused by her chest, and she’s tried to raise funds for a breast reduction through GoFundMe.

However, with the operation costing an estimated £13,000 and only £283 raised so far, the target seems out of reach. She said: “People have stopped donating, which makes me feel disheartened.

“I feel like it will be unachievable. A lot of people have been calling me a scrounger and saying I am just taking money for the sake of it.

“It makes me so sad.” Peter reportedly has mixed feelings about Melissa’s potential new venture.

He said: “The messages and comments are just unnecessary. Some of them are just sick.

“It’s funny, because if someone was messaging the same about their girlfriend, wife, mother or daughter, they wouldn’t like it either. So I don’t get why they do it.

“At first, it would frustrate me but it doesn’t really bother me anymore. So I agree with her [doing adult content] at the end of the day.

“It’s her body, her choice, she would only be doing it herself anyway, like everyone else, so why not? The money can help with the price of surgery, as we are saving constantly and trying to pay for three children in the process.

“It won’t be forever, though. I think Melissa is aware of the risks [involved] and will do whatever she feels is comfortable.”

Despite the public’s fascination, Melissa admits she’s far from confident about her body in private. She said: “In the bedroom it’s very much keeping my top on to keep myself covered.

“We stick to certain positions for comfort and most of the work is my hubby as it’s painful for my back/shoulders or makes me breathless.” Years of pain have left her with a slipped disk and a misaligned shoulder, as per The Sun.

She revealed: “I don’t go to the gym as I feel as though I’m being stared at by men. It makes me uncomfortable.

“I’ve also had men asking to meet up for thousands of pounds before. It affects my back and shoulders, so I’m unable to pick up my baby on bad days.

“As she grows, it gets even worse. I can’t put her in the bath or her cot due to the bending and stretching.

“And I can’t play sports with my two boys as I’m out of breath easily due to the weight of my chest. So instead of it just making my life a misery in all areas, I might as well make some money off it.”

Melissa’s hopes of NHS-funded surgery have been dashed by strict guidelines requiring a BMI of 27 or under, maintained for a year. However, this has been reportedly impossible for Melissa, due to her underactive thyroid.

Peter, meanwhile, just wants his wife to be happy and healthy. He said: “I have watched Melissa struggle for years; all the comments and how everything has affected her.

“It’s not nice to see. Some women have big boobs and don’t mind them – and at the end of the day that’s their choice.

“But for Melissa, I have seen the pain she has been in for so long and it would be nice for her to get the help she needs. If that means doing [adult content], then so be it.

“Nothing has, or will, impact our marriage.”
