Warning after milliner to the stars is gored by park stag

- By Nick Stewart

A MILLINER who has made hats for Holly Willoughby and Myleene Klass was gored by a stag as she tried to photograph it.

Yuan Li, 43 from east London, suffered six puncture wounds when she was charged at by the animal she described as having “huge antlers” in Richmond Park. A puncture wound to the thigh required plastic surgery. Ms Li, who was photograph­ing the stag alongside a mother and its fawn, said: “There need to be more signs to highlight the mating season and make people aware of how dangerous stags are at this time of year.” Experts say people should stay at least 160ft from deer.
