On Stage Mishaps Here I’ll be putting two stories into one tiny little segment, because I’m mad like that. Also in a way they’re both kind of non-stories and by pushing them together I’m trying to get one decent story out of it.

Lindsey Price, 41, is a Business Development Manager from Wilmslow, Manchester. She lives with her husband of five years, Billy, and their three-year-old son, Xavier. She decided to undergo non-surgical labia remodelling after the traumatic birth of her child stripped her confidence and left her love life barely existent. “I’d had a fairly uneventful pregnancy with Xavier, with the labour itself even being pretty low-key.
