“I’m almost 70 and I have the world's largest natural boobs,” Annie, 65, tells Fabulous in this exclusive interview.
“While some women might want to cover them up I love showing off my 107ZZZ chest.
“After all, they have earnt me a very decent living.”
The size of a five-year-old
Annie models under the name Norma Stitz, and says people are fascinated by her breasts, each weighing almost five stone, about the size of a five-year-old child.
She is celebrating 30 years of global fame for having the world's largest natural breasts and says she will never have a breast reduction.
“My breasts have paid for two houses, my children’s education and amazing holidays,” she says.
“My breasts are a blessing not a curse and I’ll still be showing off my ‘girls’ at 95.”
But while Annie is proud to show off her assets, not everyone is as thrilled to see them.

“I constantly get shamed by women who are shocked by my breasts,” she says.
“But I pay them no mind, I am heading towards my seventies and have never felt more body and boob confident or sexier than now.”
I have the world's largest natural breasts - I'm taunted by strangers every day and need security to fend off admirers
Record breaking
In 1999 Annie’s natural assets earnt her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records when her breasts were officially declared the world’s biggest natural boobs.
“After that, my boob business skyrocketed, I have fans all over the world,” says Annie, who is mum to Clara, 33, an insurance broker and Darius, 36, a warehouse manager.
Annie’s husband came up with her unique model’s name of Norma Stitz and she credits him with her global success.
“If it hadn't been for my husband encouraging me to turn my boobs into a business, I wouldn't have created a million-pound business,” she says.
Annie began developing breasts at age five and by nine they were already 36D with mean classmates dubbing her ‘whale boobs’.
“When I was a teenager, I struggled with the fact that my breasts just kept growing,” she says.
“I was diagnosed with gigantomastia, a condition that involves slow, progressive growth of breast tissue which is why my breasts continue to grow even today.”
Gigantomastia is incredibly rare with only a few hundred cases reported in medical literature. The exact cause is not known.
Genetics and an increased sensitivity to female hormones, like prolactin or oestrogen, are thought to play a role in the condition.
For some women, gigantomastia happens spontaneously without an obvious cause usually starting around puberty.
"When I was twelve years old men in their twenties were asking me out thinking I was in my twenties because of my breasts,” Annie says.
“I started dating at 16 but I never knew if they wanted me for me or my breasts.”
Finding love
Annie met her husband, former air force officer Allen Turner, then 53, in 1991.
“I was waiting at a bus stop with the kids and he stopped and offered me a lift,” she says.
“It turned out he was the love of my life.
“To my shock I discovered Allen loved big women and thought my breasts were magnificent. He boosted my confidence and continually told me I was beautiful.”
The pair married in August 1997 and Allan encouraged Annie to send in her pictures to a specialist magazine.
“It was a magazine that featured white women with large breasts, and I was the first Black woman to be featured, breaking another record,” Annie says.
Huge fanbase
Annie set up a website and made £20,000 in her first year, charging men to become members and access her photos.
Within months she had over a million subscribers and now Annie even has a boob bodyguard for when she makes public appearances.
“When I travelled to big conventions he’d be there to hold back the fans and ensure no one got aggressive in getting up close to me."
They are part of me and no one is going to convince me to get rid of them

Allen tragically died of lung cancer in 2003 but not before he made Annie promise to keep on with her business.
Annie has done just that, despite doctors urging her to consider a breast reduction for the sake of her health.
“My breasts continue to grow each year and every year my GP tells me I should have a breast reduction, but I refuse,” she says.
“I don’t want to mess with nature.
“As my breasts grew the muscles in my back developed and supported them. They are part of me and no one is going to convince me to get rid of them.”
Daily struggles
But while Annie is extremely proud of her assets, she is still faced with daily challenges.
Annie has a special car seat and seatbelt for her truck because her breasts are so big.
“I drive and push the seat right back. When I go to the supermarket my breasts often make it hard to push a trolley,” she admits.
Annie reveals she can only walk up and down stairs sideways because her breasts are so large, she can topple over.
“I have hit the deck a few times because I am so top heavy,” she says.
“I can’t see my shoes over my breasts and have to bend over and push one breast to one side to put on my heels.
“I also must roll onto my breasts in bed to get up but I am used to it and don't know any difference.”
Going braless
Unsurprisingly, Annie’s bras are not the sort you can simply pick up in M&S.
“I had two bras designed for me in 2012,” she explains.
“They were custom-made by a New York bra expert and took six months to make.
“But I only wear them on special occasions. Otherwise I wear a vest top and go braless.
“The bras are double-lined with a super strong fabric, with specialist corseting and have twelve hooks.
“They get my girls looking super perky.”
For all of their inconvenience, Annie is extremely grateful for her God-given gifts.

“I am mortgage free after I bought a new three-bedroom £235,000 home in 2020 back in my old hometown and am redecorating it,” she says.
“I would never have dreamed I would be able to achieve the things I have, and it’s all thanks to my girls.”
