BOY WHOSE BRAIN GREW IN NOSE IS REAL-LIFE PINOCCHIO

A little boy whose brain grew inside his nose has been described as the 'real-life Pinocchio' by his proud mum. Adorable Ollie Trezise, from Maesteg, Wales, was born with a rare condition which caused his brain to grow through a crack in his skull into his nose - making it stick out like the Disney character, Pinocchio. As the lad grew, so did his nose - forcing the 21-month-old to undergo several painful operations to enable him to breathe. But his mum, Amy Poole, 22, says the brave tot is now bombarded with cruel comments from strangers.
