'I grew a moustache for Movember - but now I want to KEEP it': Woman, 29, ditches her razor to raise awareness of medical condition that caused facial hair
Sarah O'Neill (with fiancee, Tina) was once dubbed 'Mac3' due to having an excess of facial hair as a result of suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). One of the most common symptoms is a high level of male hormones, which leads to hair growth, meaning she would spend hours shaving and waxing her face. Now, having not touched her facial hair for 30 days, she said: 'I decided that it's part of me, so why should I hide it to please other people? I wanted people to know that I'm not lazy or unclean, it's just a medical condition.'

Gay US waitress who claims she was given homophobic note instead of a tip is a compulsive liar who faked cancer and said she was blown up by a land mine, former colleagues claim
A host of former colleagues and acquaintances of Dayna Morales, pictured, the 22-year-old waitress who claims she was recently given a homophobic note instead of a tip, inset top, have come forward to question the credibility of her claims. Ex-Marine Morales sparked a national outrage after she claimed that she was left an anti-gay message instead of a tip when serving a family at the Gallop Asian Bistro in Branchburg, New Jersey. Jacqie Fitzpatrick, inset below, said she worked with Morales at a Cheesecake Factory in Nyack, N.Y., last year when the waitress told her coworkers that she had brain cancer before abruptly quitting.

The 11-month-old polar bear cub, who keepers have named Aurora, was discovered in Churchill in Manitoba, Canada, after her mother abandoned her in the wild. She appeared unusually thin and during a routine exam vets discovered she had some broken teeth - which led to her transportation to Assiniboine Park Zoo in nearby Winnipeg. A team headed by veterinary dentist Dr Colleen O'Morrow sedated the young bear before lying her out and removing two baby teeth and one adult tooth which was broken and infected.
