Get a brand new body for £20! Who needs surgery when underwear works miracles?

The launch of Tesco’s £14 uplift bra couldn’t have come at a better time, after a survey revealed 97  per cent of women have at least one ‘I hate my body’ moment a day. While breast augmentation is still the nation’s most popular plastic surgery, the average cost of a treatment is now £4,000.

For a fraction of the price (0.35  per cent to be exact), you can instantly enhance your bust, with the so-called KISS bra’s air-filled pockets and a clever ‘cinch belt’ between the cups.

The £14 Tesco bra is the brainwave of Ultimo founder Michelle Mone, who signed a £60 million contract with the supermarket in 2009 to design high-end bras at discount prices. And the best news of all it that it’s not the only way you can transform your figure and still have change from £20...
