‘X Factor’ star Maria Lawson caught up with readers of The Sun for a web chat, where one bold poster asked if she was proud of having the biggest breasts in pop. “I wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing when I heard that,” the 36JJ singer responded. “I have grown to like my body. When I was younger I was very self-conscious and didn’t like my boobs at all. I wished I could be like all the small dainty girls who could wear cute little tops! My mum always told me to be grateful for what I’ve got and now I am. My breasts can’t be too bad as they’ve landed me a contract with Bravissimo which is fantastic. The pictures will be very tasteful. I would do a glamour shot as long as I wasn’t totally naked. I think FHM can do some sophisticated stuff sometimes.”
