She had made light of her cancer diagnosis last month, saying: 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.
'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book.

Scottish ostrich egg used to crack world record for biggest Scotch egg
An ostrich egg from a Scottish farm has been used to break the record for the biggest Scotch egg ever made. Social media chefs Phoenix Ross and Oli Paterson have been recognised for smashing the 20-year-old Guinness World Record. Isla French, co-owner of Little Rowater Farm in Banff in Aberdeenshire, said she was 'amazed' to discover one of her ostrich eggs was used. 'I appreciate good food and just love to see something from my farm be used for a Guinness World Record,' she told STV News. The chefs, from Enfield in England, bought five eggs from the farm – three of which were used in their attempt to break the record on June 17. Phoenix said he has 'wanted to break a world record since he was a kid.' Oliver told STV News: 'We looked at a few world records, and burrito was unbeatable at 2.4km long, and sausage roll was 111m. 'When we found 6.2kg scotch egg, we knew it was the one.' After one failed attempt, the duo succeeded in breaking the record with a fully intact scotch egg weighing almost 8kg – more than a bowling ball. The previous record was 6kg and stood for almost 20 years. The Scotch egg was made by being wrapped in sausage meat then covered in bread crumbs and deep fried before being put in an oven. The whole process took over 24 hours. Oliver said: 'It feels great to break the record, now 'were fingers crossed for getting in the book and setting our sights on new records.' Guinness World Record Isla French, 37, said she was stunned to learn her farm produce had played a part. 'When I sell these eggs, I never have an idea of where they go or what people do with them – this is a nice surprise,' Isla said. 'Someone's taken something from my little and got a Guinness World Record, it's just wow.' Isla French and her husband George, 42, started their family farm over ten years ago and have had an enclosure for ostriches from almost the start. They sells each egg, which weighs up to 1.8kg and contains 1.2 litres of contents, for £25. Each egg is the equivalent of 24 hen eggs. Isla French Isla said she and her family use eggs for omelettes, pancakes and baking as well as make huge fried eggs. 'We're a family farm and when our children are asked where eggs come from, they say ostriches. 'To them, that's normal.' However, she has never seen anything as 'inspiring' or as 'clever' as the ambition to make a Scotch egg with it. The French family had previously appeared on the BBC series This Farming Life. Isla French The ostrich egg holds the record for the largest egg produced by any living bird. The average example measures 6–8 in (15–20 cm) in length, 4–6 in (10–15 cm) in diameter and weighs 3 lb 10 oz–3 lb 14 oz (1.65–1.78 kg) – equal to the volume of 24 hen's eggs. It also holds the record for toughest egg produced by a bird – it can withstand the weight of a 115-kg (253-lb 8-oz) person and often having to be cracked open with a hammer. Ostrich themselves are the world's largest bird and can reach speed of up to 70km an hour. They can also live up to 75 years in captivity.

Katie Price shows off HUGE new lips and reveals new bum lift – despite admitting she regretted the last one
KATIE Price has shown off her HUGE new lips and bum lift - despite admitting she regretted the last one. Former glamour model Katie, 47, underwent a Brazilian Bum Lift and lip filler top-up during a single visit to The Clinic Club on London 's Harley Street. 5 5 Sharing the latest tweaks with fans on Instagram, Katie revealed: 'So my lips are done. I haven't gone too big and now I'm gonna do my bum. "Literally, got the train up, having my lips done, having filler in two areas of my bum, then taking Harvey to his new place.' The star previously revealed that she had regrets over how far she'd gone - but that didn't stop her from opting for more tweaks this week. Insisting this time was less risky, Katie said: 'If I'd had my bum done in Turkey it would be more dangerous. I'd be put to sleep, it would be more dangerous and they use your own fat. "This is just filler. Come up here for an hour and a half and it's done, amazing…' Fresh from a sun-soaked break in Dubai, Katie showed off her plumped lips in a close-up clip and declared: 'See, you can tell I haven't had much today. Gone a bit more classy.' She then winked and added: 'I just need to get my lashes done now…' Later, she shared footage of her newly enhanced bum, complete with plasters poking out from under a pink lace thong. Katie said: 'So I've just done my BBL in under an hour. So quick, the plasters are on and ready to go. Love it! Woooo! BBL in your lunch hour.' Back in May, Katie opened up about her heartbreaking obsession with going under the knife. Katie Price continues to spark concern as she shows off her very slim legs in new video In a candid confession, the Page 3 legend revealed the real pain fuelling her relentless pursuit of perfection, admitting her countless surgeries are about far more than just looks. The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a "fox eyes" procedure. In a TikTok Live, Katie addressed where her desire to have cosmetic surgery came from. A fan asked her: "Why do you keep getting surgery?" Katie replied: "That is a very good question, so obviously I've had lot of therapy because I've had trauma in my life. "I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I'm not validated or good enough. "It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh. "I'm 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I'm being honest." Katie live-streamed her previous cosmetic procedure to thousands of stunned fans directly from the operating table. Two surgeons worked on the TV star simultaneously injecting her bum with 50 needles of filler. Katie previously said she had cancelled the op and was hitting the gym to make her bum bigger naturally, but has now given in to temptation. In the TikTok broadcast, the mum of five appeared upbeat and relaxed as she spoke with viewers while receiving 500ml of filler for her latest BBL to give her rear a boost. 'I'm having it done now, filler put in as we speak,' she explained mid-procedure. Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction 1999 - Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup 2006 - Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup 2007 - Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth 2008 - Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup 2011 - Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers 2014/5 - Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed 2016 - Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers 2017 - After a disastrous 'threading' facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup 2018 - Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift 2019 - After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck 2020 - Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers 2021 - In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction 2022 - Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes 'biggest ever' boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total 2023 - Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year 2024 - Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection 'Two surgeons so it's quicker because I'd rather have it both done at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work.' Katie continued: 'I've just had Endo laser and filler, I'm having it put in my bum. 'It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years. "Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven't been put to sleep for this - I'm awake, talking to you guys.' As the filler continued being injected, Katie remarked, 'We are numb but I can feel it getting stingy now, which I know is very normal. I'm not feeling sore… I'm feeling good.' Despite the £1,500 cost of the treatment, Katie admitted she was getting it done for free to promote the clinic. Thousands of fans tuned in, flooding the comment section with a mix of support and shock. In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck. She hasn't use the word 'addiction' herself, but confessed she's aware of how many surgeries she's had and the toll it's taken on her body. While she's no stranger to tweakments, Katie's now urging girls to think twice before following in her footsteps - saying she's learned the hard way. Katie has also spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they've had on her. She has expressed regret about the number of surgeries she's had and the potential for long-term physical and emotional repercussions, including the recovery process, pain, and potential for a desire to return to a "before" state. 5 5

The perils of becoming a househusband
Walter Schmidt and his wife, Barbara, have been married for 52 years. Their shared existence runs along well-developed grooves. Herr Schmidt, as he prefers to be known, is a curmudgeonly, self-congratulating old man, who was in his working days the 'king of overtime' but now spends most afternoons in an armchair, watching television and counting down the minutes until his next meal. Barbara is his ever-patient companion and, depending on the time of day, his alarm clock, barista, dog walker, secretary, laundress and private chef. 'Whatever she'd done before they met was hardly even worth mentioning.' Early one Friday morning the settled life of the two German pensioners hits a snag. Barbara has a fall in the bathroom and bashes her head. She makes no fuss. Herr Schmidt, who is cross that his usual coffee has not been prepared ('his nostrils flared longingly, missing the familiar aroma') finds her sprawled across the tiles and ushers her back to bed.
