Brit lad’s holiday fun with superstar
CANCER RISK Polly Barber A WOMAN has thrown a farewell party to her breasts weeks before she has a double mastectomy.
Polly Barber, 50, has the BRCA2 gene linked to breast cancer, which killed her mother and aunt.

TOP PLAYER Barca captain Lionel Messi posted online last week of the Argentinian national captain’s kickabout with Thiago and three other children, including a blond schoolboy. Yesterday that was revealed as North Londoner Mackenzie.

“We went on a little boat and spent a lot of time in the water.
“He acted like a normal dad, he enjoyed seeing his son play with other children. He lifted me on his shoulders and Thiago followed me wherever I went.” Asked if Messi gave him any tips, he said: “No, because he doesn’t speak English. But seeing how skilful he was was enough advice for me.” Messi’s £5,000-a-night stay at Jumby Bay came as he got over Argentina’s failure to reach the Copa America final this month.
