A Yorkshire mum has lost three stone after getting her engagement ring stuck on her finger. Jennie Hunter, 48, nearly resorted to getting her engagement ring cut off after it became so tight she couldn’t remove it while on holiday with her husband Neil, 51, last year.

Jennie works as an NHS pharmacist so only wears her ring for special occasions.

The Yorkshire mum said: “The options were to get it cut off or to try and get it off. I couldn't face having it cut off because it was like breaking the symbol of marriage. "I sat with a friend we iced my finger for a while and eventually got it off.

My husband said we could get the ring made bigger but I said I wanted to be smaller. "I panicked when I wouldn't come off, it had to come off.
