My husband is only four-foot & looks nothing like my dream man but I married him anyway – people think our photos are AI
Read on to see why Anita changed her mind STEPPING UP My husband is only four-foot & looks nothing like my dream man but I married him anyway – people think our photos are AI Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has admitted to friend-zoning her now husband who stands 4ft tall as he wasn't the dream man she pictured. Anita Wing Lee and Tim Muttoo met through mutual friends in 2021, and while he was eager to take things further, Anita admits she was hesitant.

The pair soon became friends, but Tim's feelings turned romantic and he didn't hide it. On their website, Anita wrote: "Tim started texting me more frequently, and I found myself feeling uneasy. "I didn't see him that way, and I already knew he liked me. "I felt like I needed to put a stop to it, but at the same time, I didn't want to lose him as a friend." Anita crafted a message with the help of her sister to explain that she only wanted a friendship with Tim. "But how could I imagine myself with a 4-foot man?" she wondered. "Tim's torso was normal-sized, but his arms and legs were shorter. While that could look cute in some ways, it wasn't what I had ever pictured in a partner." "I had always envisioned myself looking up into my partner's eyes, but with Tim, that wasn't possible. What was I supposed to do?" Anita was hesitant to send the text, and once she did, she regretted it immediately, and it left her questioning if she had stronger feelings for Tim. 3 Now the pair are happily married despite many asking if their photos are AI generated Credit: Instagram/@anitawinglee 'I'm 25 and my boyfriend is 76 – people call our relationship disturbing and family say I'm ruining my life' Anita realised Tim was everything she was looking for in a husband. She said he was kind and thoughtful, with 'no red flags', and that being tall was not in the list of qualities she wanted in a future partner. "Thankfully, I processed the height thing… and now I actually think it's so adorable!" she added. "It's an added bonus that brings so much fun and sweetness to our lives! "So if you're still waiting for your person …they may not look like what you pictured and that might be the best part." Eventually, Tim and Anita went from friends to partners, and the couple got engaged in September 2024 before tying the knot this year.

Homes Under the Hammer host warns ‘don't underestimate' as he discovers ‘massive job'
Homes Under the Hammer host warns 'don't underestimate' as he discovers 'massive job' BBC Homes Under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts was left horrified after discovering a problem with the two-bed house in Maerdy, Wales, and warned the buyer to not underestimate it Homes Under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts was left horrified after discovering a major problem as he warned the buyer 'don't underestimate' the job. During Sunday's (3rd August) episode of the BBC hit show, which was a repeat, the TV host headed to the former minging village of Maerdy in the Rhondda Valley, where he visited a classic two-bed mid-terrace house that was set to go under the hammer. As many know, purchasing a property at auction, particularly without first inspecting it, always comes with plenty of risk. This was certainly the case for the Welsh property as Martin encountered an unbearable odour just minutes into the viewing. While touring the home, Martin issued a stern warning to parental buyers as he said "don't underestimate" this issue.

He continued: 'Now, don't underestimate the amount of effort it is going to take to get rid of that, especially if the dog has been allowed to just roam around and do whatever dogs do inside.' He presented then cautioned: "To get rid of that smell is a massive job, don't underestimate it." Tim from Berkshire, who is a familiar face on Homes Under the Hammer, was the brave buyer who took on the task of transforming the property. Tim from Berkshire was the brave buyer who took on the task of transforming the property (Image: BBC) He snapped up the property for £57,500 and is no stranger to purchasing homes in need of a desperate makeover as he had previously renovated a property in South Wales. Tim had set aside four to five months and a budget of £12,000 to give the house a new lease of life before renting it out. Discussing the challenge of eliminating the unpleasant odour, Tim revealed that the house had to undergo fumigation for a week. He said: "It was a real challenge to get the property up to the standard mainly because we literally had to completely gut everything that was in here and then once all that was taken away the house went under fumigation for a week... before the renovation could start." Article continues below In a surprising turn of events, Tim decided to sell the house instead of renting it out. After sticking to his budget, with a total expenditure of £69,500, the house was valued between £90,000 to £95,000. This left Tim with a profit of £25,000, which he admitted was "a little low" as he had hoped to sell it for more. Homes Under the Hammer airs on BBC One and iPlayer
