Before the nineties, the idea of having norks the size of your head was unheard of.
But glamour model OG Jordan – aka Katie Price – changed all that by flaunting her eye-popping bazookas with pride.
Quickly the beach ball look became all the rage, with those hoping to enjoy half the success of Jordan pumping up their boobies to unimaginable proportions – with 32GG being the apparent goal.
You can have too much of a good thing, though, with the quest to be the breast in show leading to exploding boobs, infection and bankruptcy for some of the pneumatic pin-ups…

Katie and her boobs have been on an epic 25 year journey, inflating from a natural 32B to a mammoth 32GG.
Her story started when her mum and step-dad reportedly paid £4,500 for her to go up a cup size when she was 18.
Getting a taste for it, she quickly increased her boobs to a D before going all out in 2000 and getting the ginormous 32F’s that seduced ex-husband Peter Andre on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

But Katie wasn’t done, and in 2007 she had G-cup implants fitted before suddenly deciding that as a mother of three, her big rack days were over.
She whipped her implants out in favour if a modest 32C, but that all changed after her 2012 divorce from Alex Reid, with Katie catapulting back up to a 32F before being forced to remove her implants completely after a botched boob reduction left her with a gruesome hole in her breast.
“I’ve got no tits anymore. They’ve gone. There’s not even anything there. If you saw what I’m like underneath. The scar’s gone septic,” she told her horrified Celebrity Big Brother housemates.
“My whole implant was hanging out on New Year’s Day. They were going to take them out on Monday. That’s how bad it is under there. I’m not even allowed to wear a bra.”
But like a cat with nine lives, KP bounced back and reached for the stars with 32GG’s in 2017.
However, her love of surgery is said to have cost her greatly, with the 41 year old star declared bankrupt last year having squandered her estimated £40million fortune.

Former glamour model Nicola first went under the knife at 24, bizarrely inspired by a bee stinging her boob!
“The sting made my boob inflate so much, I wanted the other one to get stung, to even them up,” she once told the Daily Star.
Describing her fun bags as her ‘security blanket’, she has since had a further two operations, going from a C to an E to a GG and joking that she used her increasing size to teach her kids the alphabet.
Nicola also refused to breastfeed sons Striker and Rocky because she didn’t want to spoil her prized posessions.
“I didn’t breastfeed personally because I didn’t want to ruin my implants… nothing to do with the baby, but no way was I ruining them I’ve paid a lot of money for them,” she told The Jeremy Vine Show.
Despite bragging that her boobs are the ‘biggest you’ll ever see’, Nicola’s desire to go bigger still was brought to an agonising halt when she started suffering from excruciating back pain.

She’d also been fitted with faulty PIP implants containing dangerous, unapproved chemicals that could leach into her body and cause serious illness.
Meanwhile, fellow model Katie Price was watching on and growing increasingly annoyed by her potential usurper – especially when Nicola followed her lead and starred in I’m A Celebrity.

“It’s amazing how many of my friends have been ringing me up saying she’s trying to be like me – the next Jordan,” Katie sniped at the time.
“It’s like she’s been studying old re-runs of the series I was in, and mimicking my behaviour. It’s uncanny.
“I suppose it’s flattering but it’s obvious she’s got a game plan and is being pretty devious. I don’t like her.”

Another member of the 32GG club, Jodie waited until she was 29 to get her boobs done, but the procedure left her terrified and scarred for life.
Before then she’d rocked a 32DD but decided she wanted a helping hand as her thirties approached.
She told heat magazine: “I initially had a boob job because they were getting saggier as I got older. I’d lie on my back and they’d disappear. To me, they looked hideous. But it turned into a nightmare.”

Jodie had opted for the lollipop procedure which involves removing the nipple to insert the implant. But instead of waking up to her dream boobs, the skin between her nipples and boobs was rotting away.
“When I woke up, they were so swollen. The first dressing was taken off after a week or so – that’s when I saw that I wasn’t healing,” she previously recalled.
“As the stitches started popping out of my skin, there was no skin to hold the incision together.

“My boobs looked like they were exploding. It was so painful. There was green pus coming out of my boobs and they constantly bled.”
And as her life-long nemesis Katie upped her assets in 2017, Jodie took a thinly-veiled swipe, insisting she wanted to downsize in a bid to look classier.
“I think it’s an age thing. The older you get, the more you just want to look elegant and ladylike,” she said.
Lucy Pinder
The envy of the other models, Lucy’s 32GGs are believed to be completely natural and won her the title of Best Breasts in the World by Australian magazine Ralph.
In 2009 she broke the news that her boobs were shrinking, admitting she’d resort to surgery if there was any more movement.
“They are still an F at the moment, but I’m definitely going to have a boob job now,” she said.
“Especially if they ever got to a D, I would have to have them filled back up again.”

However, Katie – who had mentored Lucy in her early days – refused to believe she hadn’t had surgery and kicked off big time when Lucy called her an ‘orange, blonde type’ on Celebrity Big Brother.
“It’s b******s she’s all natural,” Katie told The Mirror at the time.

“She used to have a right beak on her, I reckon she’s had her nose done. And I’d say her lips and teeth are fake too.
“Beneath that skirt is a bloke with a b******s. She’s tough. A real b*tch.”
And a furious Lucy hit back, quoting one of Katie’s other famous foes.
“You know what, Victoria Beckham summed her up in one word: Vile. That’s what she is,” she blasted.
