Horrified couple find live maggots in their Morrisons lunch
A hungry couple were horrified to discover live maggots wriggling in their cheesy lunch - only for Morrisons to offer an 'insulting £3 compensation'. (Image: Kennedy News and Media) Recruitment firm consultant Cato, was "disgusted" by the discovery and immediately binned the £3 purchase. The 54-year-old said she then contacted Morrisons' live chat service to inform them of the "gross" find - but was "insulted" to be offered just a £3 voucher for her bug troubles. The couple have vowed never to buy their Brie from the supermarket chain again. Cato, from Taunton, Somerset, said: "Sean stopped in the Morrisons Daily garage to grab some lunch for the day. "We've never really shopped there before, we have Brie once in a while as a little treat. "Sean said 'your lunch is ready and by the way I don't think we'll have [the Brie]'. "I opened the Brie and thought 'what the heck? That is disgusting'. I stuck the brie in the bin but kept the wrapping. "It must've been left out, it can't have been left properly in the fridge. Someone must've left it on the shelf and perhaps it's been left out. "It's gross. I thought we should really let them know that that's not on. We could've easily eaten it. "It wasn't anything to do with the brand, it was how it was kept outside the fridge." Cato contacted Morrisons via their live chat service on Facebook to inform them of the issue, but was shocked when the retailer simply offered the couple a £3 refund. Cato said: "I contacted Morrisons on Facebook message, asked what to do and said it's dangerous for other people. "It was clear after numerous messages that I was talking to a bot. They offered a £3 voucher but I don't think it's about the money. "I do feel like I've tried contacting them a couple of times. But I feel like they couldn't be bothered to take it seriously. "The £3 refund was a bit of an insult. I just thought it was stupid really. I thought they would've taken it a bit more seriously. "We won't be buying Brie from there again." Recommended reading A Morrisons spokesman said: "We have been in regular contact with the customer to apologise for the delay while our franchise partner carried out its investigation. "We are now confident this was an isolated incident but have been back in touch with the customer this week to offer them a further gesture of goodwill." Président Cheese have been contacted for a comment.

"The chunky little rolls look at his squishy little face! Everyone saying watch out for how much he'll eat as he's older this isn't the best indicator." Another said: "Omg I wasn't ready. Those chubby little rolls. The cuteness aggression is severe right now." What is baby led weaning? Starting your baby on food can be a daunting, scary process. And while mums have depended for years on purees and soft, easy to eat foods for their babies, there's another approach that often causes controversy. Namely baby led weaning (BLW). Instead of spoon-feeding your baby pureed or mashed foods, BLW means offering them "only finger foods and letting them feed themselves from the start", "You can offer a range of small, finger-sized pieces of food," they added. "Some parents prefer baby-led weaning to spoon feeding, while others combine a bit of both. "There's no right or wrong way – the most important thing is that your baby eats a wide variety of food and gets all the nutrients they need."

I spent £3.6k on Turkey op to drop 11 bra sizes – I was sick of men ogling my massive 36K boobs
Caitlin felt let down by the NHS CUP WINNER I spent £3.6k on Turkey op to drop 11 bra sizes – I was sick of men ogling my massive 36K boobs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM burdened with enormous 36K boobs was so sick of unwanted oglers she flew to Turkey for an operation to drop 11 cup sizes - after being 'rejected' by the NHS. Caitlin Telford suffered agonising back pain for a decade and was left with deep grooves in her shoulders from the crushing weight of her chest dragging on her bra straps. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Caitlin Telford hated the attention her 36K boobs attracted Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 4 The mum spent £3,600 on a breast reduction in Turkey Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media The 27-year-old, of Glasgow, first visited her GP at 17 - sporting a 32G chest - seeking out a reduction, but claims she was rejected due to her age. The travel company administrator says she returned multiple times over the years, only to be repeatedly refused surgery on the NHS due to her BMI - only to be rejected when she lost weight. So when her boobs ballooned to their largest at 36K after giving birth to her son in 2023, she began searching for private surgery options in the UK, but her dreams of having a smaller chest were crushed, after being quoted £10,000. The determined mum looked further afield and ended up flying to Istanbul, Turkey, to undergo the same procedure for £3,600. Weeks on from going under the knife on June 11, Caitlyn said: 'I'm very happy with them and it's changed my life. 'My birthday is in a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to wearing a backless dress or strapless top.' Caitlin told how the size of her breasts affected her from a young age. She said: 'When I used to go out when I was 17 or 18 I'd get a lot of unsolicited male attention. 'Even when I went out with my partner at the time, I would get attention and that would annoy them too. 'It started with pain across my back and I've been on lots of different painkillers for this over the years. I was also developing grooves in my shoulders where the bra was pulling on them constantly. I was born in Wales but made in Turkey after I had a glow up & £2.4K sleeve - people say I look like a different person 'When I was 17 I finally went to the doctors for the first time to see what they could do. 'They panned me off and said because I was young, and hadn't stopped growing. 'Then every time I went back, I've been told my BMI is too high. - it was annoying as they seemed to be taking my overall weight for my BMI and not thinking about the weight of my chest." And despite Caitlyn losing around five stone, she still got rejected. She added: 'It just puts you down as you feel like no matter how much weight you lose because you have a bigger chest, you're never going to be a weight that you can be in a BMI they want you to. 'I would definitely recommend going to Turkey for a reduction - the price difference was unreal." NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) said that eligibility for breast reduction surgery is determined via the NHS Scotland Exceptional Referral process (ERP), which relates to procedures that are not routinely offered and can only be provided on an exceptional case basis. NHSGGC said the protocol ensures that only cases meeting all necessary criteria are considered for these procedures, through a clinical assessment that includes a range of factors such as the severity of symptoms, impact on daily life, and overall health. 4 Caitlin suffered agonising back pain for a decade due to her cup size Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 4 She has now lost 11 cup sizes after her boob op Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media

Cruel bullies branded me a 16st ‘whale' – now I'm a ripped size 6 thanks to 6 simple weight loss rules
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AT 16 stone at just 15, Jessica Turner faced relentless bullying at school and was cruelly called a 'whale' by classmates. Five years on, the student from Surrey has lost half her body weight, and those same bullies are suddenly trying their luck on Instagram. 9 At 5ft 3inches, Jessica Turner weight 16 Credit: Kennedy News and Media 9 After shedding the weight the 20-year-old became a fitness influencer Credit: Kennedy News and Media 9 Jessica wants to help others adopt healthy habits Credit: Kennedy News and Media 'I never really got any male attention before uni... but now I get doors held open for me all the time,' Jessica, now a fitness influencer, said. After years of comfort eating and zero exercise, the now University of Exeter student ballooned to 16st 5lbs at just 5ft 3in tall. 'I looked at food as a source of comfort. I had very low self-esteem, so I didn't like going out very much,' Jessica recalled. While at school, people would often make comments. "Someone said I was walking up the stairs 'too slowly', and another actually called me a whale,' she explained. 'They would laugh at me. I never felt like anybody found me attractive." The turning point came during the 2020 Covid lockdown when Jessica, then 15, decided to take control. 'Covid hit and everything shut down and I thought 'I've got an opportunity to better myself and I have a lot of time on my hands'.' Starting with YouTube home workouts, inspired by Joe Wicks and Chloe Ting, she slowly fell in love with fitness and nutrition. 'Once you start seeing results, it gets easier,' she said. Jessica, now a successful fitness influencer, credits a protein-rich diet and regular exercise for her dramatic transformation, losing an incredible 8st 3lbs since 2019. 'I was 105kg [16st 5lbs], so my health was on the line,' she said. 'I was bigger than my mum and most people in my family. "I felt so miserable in myself that I didn't really care what I was eating.' Her diet used to revolve around calorie-laden junk food. 'I used to eat lots of cakes and chocolate because it would give me short-time gratification,' Jessica explained. 9 Jessica now credits a protein-packed diet and fierce workout routine for sculpting her size 6 figure. Credit: Kennedy News and Media 9 Before the transformation she lived on junk food Credit: Kennedy News and Media 9 Her journey hasn't just changed her body, it's changed her confidence and life trajectory. Credit: Kennedy News and Media 'After school, I'd do a little Tesco shop and get a bag of sweets and chocolates.' Now her typical day looks very different. Breakfast might be protein pancakes topped with Greek yogurt, berries, and honey. Lunch could be an omelette with cheese and ham, plus a side salad. And dinner is typically something like a Mexican chicken rice bowl, packed with peppers, onions, and avocado. 'I make sure I eat at least five fruits and veg every day, and I hit my protein goals, eating over the government-recommended amount of 2,000 calories a day," the health fanatic said. "You don't have to be scared of eating; you can achieve your goals without starving yourself.' 'If I can do it, so can you' Alongside the diet overhaul, Jessica took up weightlifting to tone up. 'I had loose skin on my arms and legs, my inner thighs in particular. "Only when I started weightlifting did I start to build muscle. I haven't looked back since.' Her journey hasn't just changed her body, it's changed her confidence and life trajectory. 'If I hadn't gone through my weight-loss journey, I wouldn't be at a Russell group uni and I wouldn't be studying law,' Jessica explained. She said her social life has transformed too. "People 100 per cent treat me differently, even on the street. "When you're a bigger girl people don't respect you as much. I never had someone hold the door open for me, but as a girl now I get that all the time.' Many of Jessica's bully's now follow her on Instagram, but Jessica hasn't forgetten how they made her feel. 'Then you have guys trying to speak to me [on Instagram] and I'm like 'no, I still remember what you did'.' Jessica hasn't had any long-term relationships yet. 'I'm very career oriented so I'm prioritising that," she said. 'I want to share my journey not just to celebrate how far I've come, but to inspire others," she said. "I want to show that no matter where you start, it's possible to rise, grow, and achieve what once felt out of reach. "If I can do it, so can you.' 9 Jessica used food at a source of comfort Credit: Kennedy News and Media 9 'If I hadn't gone through my weight-loss journey, I wouldn't be at a Russell group uni and I wouldn't be studying law,' Jessica says Credit: Kennedy News and Media
