Maxine Carr asks for NHS breast op

Maxine Carr has asked for breast enlargements on the NHS, it was revealed today.

The former fiancee of Soham murderer Ian Huntley is reportedly seeking the operation to boost her lost confidence and please her new boyfriend.

Carr has approached her doctor to request treatment on "health grounds", claiming she cannot afford private surgery - which would cost about £3,000.

The 27-year-old former classroom assistant used to be a size 38DD but her figure has fluctuated during frequent bouts of anorexia.

She was released from jail in May after being found guilty of perverting the course of justice over the murder of 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire. She is now living at a secret address.

A friend of Carr told the Sun: "Losing her shape would have depressed her. But I suspect her depression is more rooted in what happened to Jessica and Holly."
