Rhian Sugden has revealed that her husband, former Coronation Street actor Oliver Mellor, was left ‘gutted’ after she underwent a major breast reduction
A former Page 3 star has revealed her Coronation Street actor husband was left “gutted” after her boob job. Former glamour model Rhian Sugden found fame aged just 19, posing topless for a string of media outlets and lads’ mags with a 32D cup.
It was her work on Page 3 which saw her become a household name across the nation, but she officially retired in 2017 after almost 11 years posing for the staple of tabloids. Since then, the model who turned to OnlyFans, has maintained a low profile but often engages with fans and even took part in Celebrity Big Brother.
But away from her career, Rhian was secretly battling intense pain after her breasts increased to cup size of 34F – after welcoming her son – which she branded “back breakers.” Now, the 38-year-old has revealed she’s undergone the knife – but for a breast reduction.
Speaking candidly, Rhian admitted that the size of her chest made it difficult for her to walk as they had always been “extra large.” Now, though, she is much more able to get about. She has forked out over £10,000 for the operation at Pall Mall Cosmetics in Newton-le-Willows due to her posture “getting worse” with the weight of her former breasts.
Rhian said that regardless of what size bra she had bought, there would always be dents on her shoulders from the straps, and she had been living on painkillers due to the suffering.
But while Rhian is finally more comfortable, she admits her husband, Oliver Mellor, who appeared on ITV’s Coronation Street, didn’t initially feel the same way.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “Oliver was gutted at first – he’s always loved my boobs. But he understands and I think he’ll be happy for me to stop moaning about my back ache, to be honest.”
However, Rhian has also received mixed reviews from fans, with one demanding he wanted a “refund” as he had bought her content online and magazines over the years. “He was saying I’m making the worst mistake of my life – how dare I remove the boobs,” she told the outlet.
She admits that while she’s had the reduction for health and cosmetic reasons, she has found it “difficult” to process other people having an opinion on her body. “It’s going to be a relief,” she said after her surgery.
Although she says it was difficult to predict the exact size of her new breasts before the surgery, she was hoping for a C or D cup to be nearer to her size when she first started modelling.
But she says she has high expectations ahead of the operation. Now, though, it’s the “end of an era” for Rhian’s boobs, which catapulted her to fame.
