EXCLUSIVE Melissa Ashcroft has for years suffered with excruciating back pain because of her size 36M breasts, but recently creepy blokes have started slipping into her DMs
A mum with ‘Britain’s largest boobs’ says she’s harassed by “creeps who want to buy her used bras”. Melissa Ashcroft, 30, who has a 36M chest, has received hundreds of texts and emails from pervy blokes trying to woo her.
The mum-of-three told the Daily Star: “I can’t move for creepy messages. I got one this morning – he wanted to buy my bra.
“Or it’s ‘you’re so pretty, can I skype call you?’ I’m married with three kids, it’s mad.” Melissa, of Blairgowrie, Scotland, recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to get a breast reduction after being told by the NHS her BMI is too high for surgery.
She’s desperate for the surgery as she has battled excruciating back pain since reaching puberty. Rising from bed requires a full hour every morning and she’s unable to lift her eight-month-old daughter.
Melissa, who appeared on ITV’s This Morning earlier this week, said: “I’m not able to do normal things, like being able to go to the gym or picking up my daughter. And the worst thing? I just feel fat. I went on ITV and watched the footage back. And I just look ginormous. My husband has been very supportive but that’s still how I perceive it.”
Melissa believes she’s among those with the biggest breasts in Britain. yet she can’t even stretch to the £82 custom-made bra designed for her size.
This forces her to cram her chest into a much smaller – and more affordable – £20 undergarment. She added: “There’s only one place I can buy bras from and it’s this online-only place in America. But they are priced between £80 and £110.”
Before adolescence hit with devastating force, Melissa endured cruel taunts at school for having a flat chest. She said: “One minute I was getting bullied for having a flat chest, then I’d get bullied saying I had tea towels down my bra. It wasn’t nice at school – it was everyday.”
She added: “I find it hard to exercise because I have pain in my shoulders and lower back. Then when I go on a treadmill, for example, I feel really embarrassed and sexualised, like people are watching me, and I don’t want that when I’m just trying to exercise.
“I don’t want the attention. I’m not just a walking pair of breasts, I have a personality, and I am a real human.”
