Woman with ‘UK’s biggest boobs’ received disturbing comment from teacher
Summer Robert was previously diagnosed with the rare condition gigantomastia, which causes her boobs to well, not stop growing.
The Scot is thought to have the ‘UK’s biggest boobs’ with a chest measuring at a size 30R and weighing in at 25kg.
And while she has grown to embrace them, Summer has suffered through unwanted attention, harassment and sexist comments. This has apparently included ‘traumatic’ experiences of being kicked out of places and bans.
When she was just 13 years old, the now 28-year-old says she received a disturbing comment from a teacher.

Summer started to need bras when she was seven and once grew 11 sizes within a year.
Her rare diagnosis means excess breast tissue grows rapidly over time but the woman has previously been denied reduction surgery.
When she was young, she says she was just a ‘walking boob throughout the whole of the school’.
“I definitely looked super awkward because I had nothing on me apart from boobs,” she told Metro.
When she would be running in PE lessons, Summer said boys would shout ‘bounce, bounce, bounce’.
And it’s the comment from a teacher at 13 that has stuck with her.
‘I wore a vest top under my shirt because there were gaps between the buttons where the fabric stretched, and he said ‘you need to put a jumper on’,” she said.
“I said no because it was summer and I was boiling, so he sent me to the headmaster because he was ‘getting too distracted’.”
She claimed she would frequently get sent home because of her chest, as she added: “I just thought it’s not my fault these teachers are perverts.”
The harassment in public is what's stuck with her most, and that often came when she'd be walking home from school.
"I’d bring baggy band t-shirts to school to put over my uniform so I could walk home and not get targeted – but I’d still get cat called," she explained.
"I thought 'oh my god, I hate this'. I felt like the world was eating me up inside – it was awful."
While it was once a problem for Summer, she has grown to love how she looks, eventually starting an OnlyFans to celebrate her body at the age of 23.
Speaking to the publication previously, she revealed: “When I was younger I hated the attention but now I just think they could be a potential buyer, and my subscribers aren’t creepy, they genuinely love my breasts and support me.”
Opening up on her condition, Summer says that she would turn down a breast reduction now unless they start to impact her day-to-day.
She told Mamamia: “I love my body so much now,
“I'm super confident in my own skin, and I'm happy that it's become a positive thing, because growing up it was not. But now it is, and I'm happy."
What is macromastia?
Macromastia, or gigantomastia as it is sometimes referred to, is extremely rare. Only around 300 cases have been reported.
For Summer, it means constant back pain, an inability to exercise, and a huge struggle to find clothes that fit.
It can also lead to infections or lesions under your breasts, painful indentations on the skin from your bra and loss of feeling in your nipples, Cleveland Clinic explains.
It can be caused by genetics, hormonal changes like puberty and pregnancy, autoimmune conditions like lupus and arthritis, and some medications.
Sometimes medication can stop the breasts growing, while some patients opt for breast reduction surgery - but Summer has been told that going under the knife may not be effective for her.
