I've had so much filler now my huge lips are LEAKING – trolls say I should ‘buy a puncture repair kit in Halfords'
A WOMAN has shared the shocking reality of what can happen if you have too much filler injected into your lips. Sarah-Jane Sinclair, a 28-year-old mother from Harlow, Essex, used to look like your typical girl next door until she got a drastic makeover six years ago with tattoos, fake tan, long nails and lip filler. 2 2 Now, the brunette has been labelled the 'Poundland Katie Price ' after showing off her fake look online. Not only does she get Botox every few months, but she also gets her plump pout maintained every two to three months - with 2ml of filler injected each time. While Sarah-Jane, a self-confessed tattoo addict, loves her enhanced appearance, she has now been left lost for words after noticing filler leaking from her huge lips. Posting on social media, the inked woman who has previously been slammed as 'demonic' for her unique look, squeezed her top lip, only for a clear liquid to leak out. Stunned by her leaky lips, Sarah-Jane, who posts online under the username 'Essex Ink', wrote: 'My lips are leaking filler. 'I noticed some bumps so [I] squeezed them. This was the result.' Showing off the migrated filler, she gasped: 'Can you see that? That is f*****g filler coming out of my f*****g lips.' Opening her mouth is disbelief at her lip filler which she claimed had 'gone wrong', she continued: 'What the f**k?! I'm shook.' According to Karidis Clinic Londo n, the rise in popularity of over-exaggerated pouts and trends such as the ' Russian lip ' has led to an increase in issues with lip filler migration. These techniques typically involve multiple punctures of the lip border, making it likely that filler can leak out. Nurse, 36, shocked after 'routine' lip filler ended up in a cancer diagnosis To avoid filler leaking from lips, you must ensure to avoid overfilling. You should only use trusted dermal filler brands, follow aftercare advice and choose a reputable practitioner. Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ essexxink, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 695,400 views in just 11 hours. Not only this, but it's also amassed 11,400 likes and 845 comments, with many trolls sharing their thoughts on the lip filler fail. One person joked: 'Buy a puncture repair kit in Halfords.' Another added: 'Your body [is] trying to tell you something.' A third laughed: 'Buy a plastic pool repair kit.' At the same time, one beauty enthusiast gasped: 'Whoever did this to you needs their license taken away.' What are the risks of lip fillers? THE RISKS of dermal fillers depend on whether the procedure was done correctly and the type of filler used. The NHS recommends you speak to your practitioner about the risks beforehand. Serious problems are rare but can include: Infection A lumpy appearance under the skin, which might need to be treated with surgery or medicine The filler moving away from the intended treatment area, which may need to be removed using surgery Scarring Blocked blood vessels in the face, which can cause tissue death and permanent blindness You should see your GP if you have any complications that need medical attention and speak to your practitioner if you're not happy with the results or experience lumpiness. Source: NHS Whilst someone else questioned: 'I mean, are you honestly surprised?" Not only this, but another agreed and asked: 'I come with no hate but are you surprised? There's lip filler and then there's over the top lip filler.' Meanwhile, others shared their advice for Sarah-Jane, as one recommended: 'Go to the doctor.' A second chimed in: 'Just keep the area clean, ice if necessary, take anti inflammatories and try not to squeeze them. Monitor it and see your GP if symptoms worsen, you develop a fever or you think the wound has become infected.' A third then suggested: 'Don't squeeze it lovely, speak to your esthetician, she may have some advice to help you.'

I was days away from being paralysed after blaming back pain on being pregnant – a killer disease was eating my spine
SHEEMA Patel was just weeks into motherhood when agonising back pain left her screaming in the street. Doctors told the now 42-year-old from Harlow, Essex it was sciatica, but the truth was far worse: an incurable disease was eating holes in her spine. 4 4 By the time the disease was diagnosed as cancer, Sheema, who had just given birth to son Mason two months before, was told she was only three to four days away from being paralysed. She tells Sun Health: 'I thought, I'm just too young. I've not had enough time with my son. 'The message that was delivered made me feel I only had weeks to live.' Sheema, who works in HR, had first felt something was wrong when her back cracked while she was making her bed in April 2023, aged 40. It immediately started to hurt, but she put the pain down to her pregnancy. As the pain worsened, she went to the hospital, where she was given a low dose of morphine. She says: 'My whole body went into a kind of spasm. 'But they couldn't do much because I was pregnant, so I decided to leave the hospital.' After giving birth on July 30, her symptoms worsened. Three weeks later, she started experiencing severe leg pain. At this point, her pain was dismissed as sciatica - an irritated nerve - and the discomfort of post-partum recovery. Her GP prescribed codeine, and she tried acupuncture, but nothing helped. Then one day in late September, she was forced to cut short a walk near her house. 'I was three houses down and screaming in pain,' she recalls. 'My husband had to carry me, push the baby and walk the dog home. It was really bad.' A few days later, in late September, Sheema saw a new GP at her practice. The doctor suspected deep vein thrombosis, when a blood clot gets stuck in a vein, and sent her to A&E for more tests. After a series of scans and some back and forth, Sheema was told in October that she had lesions - holes in her spine, ribs and sternum - caused by myeloma, an incurable blood cancer that occurs in the bone marrow. The disease affects around 33,000 people in the UK. 'Don't ignore pain' She says: 'I was an odd case because I wasn't over 60, or a man, and I didn't fit the criteria for myeloma. 'But nobody should go through so much pain. It took months to be diagnosed, as it was just put down to sciatic pain.' She adds: 'My advice would be, don't ignore pain and keep pushing. Nothing was showing up in my bloods. "Back pain shouldn't go on for months, even if you're pregnant or have a new baby. "Ask for some X-rays or an MRI. You don't think you're going to get cancer at 40, but cancer doesn't discriminate.' Dr Sophie Castell, chief executive at Myeloma UK, the blood cancer charity, says: 'Myeloma has one of the longest times to diagnosis of any cancer. "One of the biggest barriers remains identifying and piecing together the symptoms quickly and before too much damage is done. "Myeloma symptoms, back pain, fatigue, infections, are often vague and can be mistaken for ageing or minor conditions." This is partly because, unlike many cancers, myeloma doesn't form lumps or tumours. Instead, it attacks the bone marrow, the spongy material inside bones such as the spine, pelvis, ribs, and long bones, causing lesions that weaken bones and can lead to fractures. 'I thought was going to die there and then' Over a third of patients see their GP at least three times before diagnosis, and a quarter wait more than 10 months. Sheema recalls her diagnosis: 'I was upset. It was like I was going to die there and then. 'They didn't explain anything. You just don't want to believe it. It didn't make sense. 'The only thing I kept thinking about was that I wanted to take my son to Disneyland.' She sought a second opinion privately, where she was told the damage was so severe that any pressure could leave her paralysed. 'He confirmed that I needed to remain bedbound as any pressure to my spine was going to result in me being paralysed,' she says. 'It took a few days to process," she adds. "My mum had to move in with us because I wasn't able to do anything for my baby. 'I couldn't even carry him. It was awful.' In March 2024, following her fourth round of chemotherapy, one of Sheema's spinal discs collapsed. Living with incurable cancer She required urgent surgery to stabilise her back, and in May, she underwent a stem cell transplant. She says: 'It was difficult. 'I feel like I missed out on the experience of being a new mum. "My son became very close to my mum because I wasn't able to carry him or care for him as I wanted to. 'But we've become much closer now, and we share a strong bond. I do everything I can for him now, taking him to soft play, to the zoo, and more.' Sheema is now in remission, though she knows the cancer is incurable. She adds: 'I know myeloma isn't curable and that it will likely return, but I'm a positive person. 'I'm focused on moving forward, going on holidays, taking my son to Disneyland when he's three or four, and building lasting memories. I'm incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive family. 'Mason and my husband are what keep me going.' If you're worried you might have myeloma, it can be hard to explain vague symptoms in a way that gets taken seriously. To help with this, Myeloma UK has created a simple Symptom Translator, a downloadable guide that puts common symptoms into medical language your GP will understand.

Lewis Hamilton's supermodel friend waved Canadian GP chequered flag a lap early
Winnie Harlow was left red-faced after she accidentally waved the chequered flag a lap early at the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix, leading to F1 bosses scrambling for a solution The Canadian Grand Prix continues to be a popular stop on the F1 calendar, with one particularly chaotic edition coming in 2018 when the chequered flag was waved prematurely. Last year it was Red Bull's Max Verstappen who emerged victorious in an adrenaline-fuelled, rain-soaked race following a tense five-car showdown. The current Formula One world champion secured a crucial lead as McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri battled with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton trailing behind. Post-race, Verstappen labelled the action "crazy", while Norris described it as "chaos". However, this was a well-orchestrated affair compared to the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix, where model Winnie Harlow's early wave of the chequered flag caused havoc on the track and left F1 bosses scrambling for a solution. As F1 returns to Montreal, it'll be hard to replicate the bedlam that unfolded seven years ago. Flag waving has been a tradition for many celebrities over the years, with David Beckham, Serena Williams and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland all having their moment in the spotlight. Yet, no one has made quite the impression that America's Next Top Model alumna, Winnie Harlow - a friend of Hamilton - did back in May 2018. At a memorable Formula 1 race, the Victoria's Secret model unwittingly steered herself into the sport's annals – but not as she might have anticipated. Tasked with ending the 70-lap long haul, the 30-year-old, who was 28 at the time, was caught in a gargantuan gaffe when she unfurled the chequered flag prematurely on the 69th lap. This early display plunged Sebastian Vettel's last lap into disarray at the Grand Prix, prompting the German driver to urgently radio his team, urging them to clarify the mishap while he powered through the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to complete the race properly. After the confusion, Harlow managed to wave the flag at the correct moment as Vettel sailed across the finish line, no doubt leaving F1 bosses biting their nails after the error. Rule 43.2 loomed over the event, highlighting the unintended power of an early flag to potentially decide the race's outcome. In a stroke of good luck, the racing order was preserved despite the flag faux pas, allowing all involved to exhale in collective relief. Reflecting on the nerve-wracking experience, Vettel admitted his post-race jitters: "Some of the marshals were already celebrating. I was just worried that people wouldn't jump on the track and start celebrating. We're still going at full pace." After the race, Harlow took to Instagram to explain the blunder to her followers, saying she was instructed to wave the chequered flag too soon. "WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO WAVE THE FLAG A LAP TOO EARLY! You had one job sir!!! Hahaha but so grateful everyone was safe today and no one got hurt from this," she posted. The late Charlie Whiting, who was the FIA race director at the time, later absolved Harlow of blame, confirming that she was told to wave the flag prematurely and it wasn't her fault. He detailed that the mix-up happened due to a miscommunication with a local Montreal official, who asked if it was the final lap but was misunderstood as confirming it, leading to the early end-of-race signal. Former F1 managing director Ross Brawn also came to Harlow's defence, commenting: "Winnie simply followed the instructions she was given and I want to apologise for the grief she received and thank her for supporting Formula 1." Despite the mishap being a red-faced moment for F1, Harlow wasn't the only celebrity to fumble the flag. At the 2002 Brazilian Grand Prix, football legend Pele was in the spotlight for missing Michael Schumacher's finish when he waved the flag while looking the other way.
