A woman born with a rare condition which means she only has "one breast" turned down a free NHS boob job and is now a model.

Rebecca Butcher, 26, was offered the chance to have a breast implant when she was just 16 - so both her breasts could be the same size.

She turned down the surgery and instead choses to celebrate her difference.

Her right breast is a DD size cup, while her left is an A cup.

Her condition – Poland syndrome - is a birth defect which causes an underdeveloped chest muscle on one side of the body and affects around one in 20,000 people.

Rebecca was officially diagnosed with it aged 20 after she had an ultrasound scan to look at her chest muscle but had been convinced of her condition since she was 16.
