When Summer Robert was seven, she had to borrow a b-cup bra from her friend’s mum because she was bursting out of her school polo shirt.

‘I was so small, I was just a walking boob throughout the whole of school,’ she tells Metro. ‘I definitely looked super awkward because I had nothing on me apart from boobs.’

Now, 18 years later, at 25 years old and 4ft 9in, Summer measures in at around a 30N or 28 O-cup breast size, depending on the shop, with the weight on her chest amounting to more than four stone, or 25kg.

She’s just been diagnosed with a rare condition called gigantomastia, a severe form of macromastia, which causes excess breast tissue to grow rapidly.

‘In the space of a year my breasts have grown 10 sizes,’ Summer says. ‘From 22 to 24, I stayed a K-cup but now they’re increasing rapidly in size again. That’s why doctors think I’ve got gigantomastia, rather than just macromastia.’

Despite this, she claims doctors have refused her reduction surgery due to the fact she exceeds the BMI threshold critera set by the NHS where she lives in Glasgow.

Techically, Summer is categorised as ‘morbidly obese’, but she only measures this way because of her chest size – something that’s caused her problems since she can remember.

‘When I would run in PE boys would shout “bounce, bounce bounce”,’ Summer recalls.

At just 13, she claims she received a shocking comment by a teacher.

‘I wore a vest top under my shirt because there were gaps between the buttons where the fabric stretched, and he said “you need to put a jumper on”,’ she says. ‘I said no because it was summer and I was boiling, so he sent me to the headmaster because he was “getting too distracted”.’

Summer’s parents frequently shouted at school staff for sending their daughter home because of her breasts, but it didn’t phase her. ‘I just thought it’s not my fault these teachers are perverts,’ she adds.

On her walks home from school she would be cat called about six times, and it’s this public harassment that truly affected Summer.

‘I’d bring baggy band t-shirts to school to put over my uniform so I could walk home and not get targeted – but I’d still get cat called,’ she says. ‘I thought “oh my god, I hate this”. I felt like the world was eating me up inside – it was awful.’

At 15, when she’d gone from a b-cup to a DD in the space of a couple of months, Summer’s mum took her to the doctor, concerned about the rapid growth. The GP said it was ‘just puberty’.

But it wasn’t just fitting into her uniform that was a problem at this age. Summer’s large breasts meant older guys were ‘predatory’ towards her, and her first serious boyfriend, at 15, was 11 years older than her.

‘I was sexualised by him and his friends, and my parents obviously hated him, but I’d sneak out to a different town to see him at these weird parties,’ she adds. ‘I thought it was cool but in hindsight it wasn’t.’

She left school at 16, with double J breasts, to work in hospitality, but the harassment only got worse. ‘I became a chef in my dad’s restaurant but I was too over-sexualised, and other chefs were too grabby and handsy,’ Summer says.

‘So I went back to waitressing and became a manager, but I didn’t get taken seriously. One man put me in a headlock when I asked him to leave because of his creepy and gross behaviour towards me.’

A year later at 17, she returned to the doctor because her breasts had again grown significantly. ‘That was the first time they told me I was too fat,’ Summer sighs.

‘They told me to lose weight, even though I was a size eight on the bottom half. My mum went crazy because there was no fat on me.’

She would receive letters from the doctors with the words ‘BMI’ and ‘overweight’ in bold, which caused her to develop an eating disorder.

‘Being told to lose weight was my final straw,’ Summer adds. ‘I’d been told I was fat from such a young age, from stepping on the Wii Fit which said I was morbidly obese, to getting that letter, so I thought “maybe I am overweight”.

She changed her eating habits and lost a dangerous amount of weight, but always had ‘a fat rack’.

‘It’s because it was pure breast tissue,’ Summer explains. ‘I was really sick, but then my mum broke down and my family begged me to eat – that was when I started looking after myself again.’

It was only at 23, when Summer felt a lump on her breast, that a doctor agreed she needed a reduction. ‘My GP sent me to a cancer specialist the same day and they said “it’s not cancerous but you need a reduction – this isn’t normal”,’ she says.

‘I thought thank god, someone’s listening to me, so she referred me for one and then seven months later they refused to do the reduction because my BMI was too high. They didn’t care.’

So Summer resigned herself to living life with ever-growing breasts, and continues to wear a doctor-prescribed corset wherever she goes.

‘I’ve worn one since I was 16 because if I’m walking my back feels like it’s broken – it’s so intense and painful,’ she says. ‘If I’m washing up or cleaning my house, I have to wear a bra because of the sheer weight of them.

‘I swim a lot because I’m weightless so it’s a relief, but then I get out the pool and it feels horrific.’

She can’t go to the gym, go for a run, or find a bra that doesn’t cost her £400, but despite these drawbacks, Summer has turned her large breasts into a positive.

Known as Scotch Dolly, she went from hospitality to being an OnlyFans creator at 23, at the suggestion of a colleague, after an evening of being harassed by customers behind the bar.

Now, she flaunts her boobs on the subscription porn site for £12.90, and last month alone she made £70,000. Alarmingly three of her former teachers have subscribed to her account.

But for the young model, it’s just more money in her pocket. ‘When I first started there was one bikini picture of me and I made £800 in one day,’ she says. I used to make that in two weeks.’

Now, when she gets cat called walking down the street, she replies and tells them to subscribe to her OnlyFans.

‘When I was younger I hated the attention but now I just think they could be a potential buyer, and my subscribers aren’t creepy, they genuinely love my breasts and support me.’

With her newfound confidence, she wants young women who face similar struggles to ‘focus on themselves’.

‘Blame the clothes companies if nothing fits you, big boobs are beautiful and there’s nothing wrong with your body,’ she says.
