'Shocked' Woman Who Went Viral At London Marathon Speaks Out

'Shocked' Woman Who Went Viral At London Marathon Speaks Out

It turns out that all is not what it seems...

On Sunday, it was the London Marathon. You've probably heard about it by now because it's been pretty much everywhere.

Remember the absolute LAD who helped a stranger across the finish line when his legs started going? Or the guy dressed in a gorilla suit who's currently crawling his way to the finish line?

Yeah, those stories are all well and good, but the best story of all had to be this photo...

As you can see, marathon runner Abdelhadi El Harti is blissfully unaware that his cock is hanging out of his shorts.

However, the woman in the background looks as though she's just taken a picture and realised that it's not quite one for the wall...

Well it turns out that you should never assume because it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'. Looks who's remembering their Year 6 English lessons now?!

The woman in the photo, 35-year-old Kim Wright from Ramsgate, spoke to the Mirror about what is actually happening in that photo.

She said: "I wish I could tell you that I'd snapped the runner and his bits but truth be told I didn't even notice they were hanging out!

"I was busy checking my boyfriend's tracking app as he was running it yesterday and going for a good time.

"At that particular moment he must have been doing really well!"

So how did he do? She explained: "Simon did really well, 3 hours 27 minutes, which is slightly over the time he wanted of 3 hours 15 minutes to get automatic entry into next year's marathon - but he was still happy!"

Well, fair enough. I preferred the original but I guess you can't always get what you want.
