A woman waiting for the kettle to boil while she made her lunch at work was shocked to look down and see the face of Diana, Princess of Wales, smiling at her from a slice of ham. Hettie Osma says she 'had a round of toast instead' so she didn't have to eat the meat.
Hettie had bought the ham from a nearby branch of Tesco Express. Speaking to GloucestershireLive, Hettie said her whole office could see the late princess in the slice.
Hettie said: "I went straight to work, during lunch I started making a ham sandwich when I noticed the second slice had a sort of face in it. I thought I was seeing things, on closer inspection, its likeness was Lady Di, the whole office agreed.
"I was shocked, I gave out a little gasp, my co-worker Madeleine asked what was the matter, I showed it to her and she was shocked too, with it being so close to the coronation, it's really spooky. We took some photographs and thought nobody would believe us, the office was buzzing with excitement during lunch break. I want to try and preserve it to hang it in my house, she looks so beautiful."
Hettie, 26, said most people could not see Lady Di straight away but quickly became spooked when they saw her face staring back at them. "It must be Lady Di-vine intervention" Hettie said.
She added: "I had a round of toast instead after seeing her in the ham, I couldn't risk damaging the ham! - If anyone knows how to preserve a piece of ham please contact me, It deserves to be in a museum!"
