'Boob God' plastic surgeon launches legal war with influencer who 'broke NDA and complained about operation carried out by Harley Street doctor'
A plastic surgeon known as the 'Boob God' has launched a legal war with an influencer who allegedly broke a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) by complaining about her procedure. Mother-of-two Ms Morgan told Manchester Civil Justice Centre she was unaware she had signed the contract before making the 'disparaging comments' in 2023. The General Medical Council (GMC) told The Times that Ms Morgan signing the NDA would not prevent them investigating any concerns she raised. They have also said the NDA was obtained through 'undue influence' when Ms Morgan was unfit to consent. It was his work on Mrs Horgan-Wallace that saw his nickname the 'Boob God' come about after he created the UK's largest legal breast implants for her.

UK Counterterrorism Police Investigating Fire Near Heathrow
Britain’s counterterrorism police are leading the investigation into the cause of the fire near Heathrow Airport, signaling that the possibility of sabotage was being taken seriously, at least as a precaution. But officials said there was no immediate evidence that foul play was involved. After the blaze at the electrical substation and subsequent power outage, the scale of the resulting chaos raised uncomfortable questions for Britain’s government about the security measures protecting key transport hubs and the resilience of the country’s aging infrastructure. The Metropolitan Police in London said that counterterrorism specialists had taken charge “given the location of the substation and the impact this incident has had on critical national infrastructure.”Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, said it was “not unusual” for the specialized officers to be involved in an investigation of such a major incident, and he told Sky News that there was “no reason at all for anyone to be concerned or alarmed.”
