The sudden growth caused back pain so excruciating that Sharon was forced to take daily doses of morphine.

Speaking with Dr Pixie McKenna on tonight's episode of Embarrassing Bodies, Sharon said: "They've just grown and grown and grown.

"I'm in excruciating pain sometimes, they're just horrible things."

Sharon's problems began when she hit the menopause aged 45, with the drop in hormones resulting in a lessening of support for her breasts.

"Wearing a bra was so uncomfortable with all the sores and things under my breasts but now that's all gone!"
