Mikel Ruffinelli shows off the world’s biggest hips — measuring more than EIGHT FEET round.
The mum of four’s amazing natural 100in curves mean she struggles to get through doorways — and needs two seats on planes.

Mikel, 39, drives a truck as her 30st frame cannot squeeze into a car and needs a reinforced chair at home.
Yet the plus-size model — a trim 10st as a teenager — is PROUD of her figure and does not want to lose weight, even though she often attracts jeers. She said: “Everywhere I go I get attention for my hips — both good and bad.
“When I walk down the street I can hear the shutters going on cameraphones and people laughing at me.
“I’ve heard people saying, ‘Look at her fat a**’.
“Some people assume I’ve had surgery to enhance my a** and hips, but it’s all natural. I think that it’s the result of having four children, but large hips also run in my family.”Mikel was a normal-sized youngster and even in her early 20s tipped the scales at a modest 13st. But at 22, she put on four stone after having first child Andrew, now 18. And after daughters Destynee, 13, Autumn, eight, and Justyce, seven, followed, her weight and hips ballooned further.

But despite her curves she stands at just 5ft 4ins and has a proportionally small 40-inch waist Married Mikel, of Los Angeles, owns up to the difficulties that her size causes in everyday life.
