Sheffield pregnant woman is jeered at by white van men
A pregnant woman was horrified after she was jeered by three van men who shouted 'show us your t**s' while she was stuck in traffic.
Katie Root, from Sheffield, branded the men 'disgraceful' after they called out about her 'massive jugs' while staring at her breasts as she sat in her car yesterday. Some of the comments they made were 'too disgusting to repeat', she said.
The 23-year-old was so repulsed she took to Facebook to expose the behaviour, adding it was 'unacceptable' for women to be treated that way.

Miss Root, a sales supervisor, said she doesn't expect to hear such remarks at any time, but least of all when she is sitting in her car.
'It was a really hot day and my air conditioning was not working so I had the window rolled down a bit,' Miss Root explained. 'Being six months pregnant I am always hot. I just heard some man shout 'oh my god, f*** me love, your jugs are massive.'Â
Determined not to appear intimidated, Miss Root quipped: 'So would you if you were six months pregnant.'
The men continued to harass her, saying: 'Come on love, you can still flirt with me even though your pregnant, show us your t**s.' At one point they def ended their behaviour by saying they were 'complimenting' her.
Outraged: Miss Root posted this photo slamming the men on Facebook
Miss Root, who was on her way to collect her boyfriend Tom Wallis at the time, said the van deliberately slowed to keep in line with her car as she crawled through standstill traffic.Â
She continued: 'To just stare at someone's boobs and shout things out of a car in busy traffic is just not acceptable behaviour. Some of the stuff they said is too disgusting for me to repeat.

'I just kept thinking what kind people would ever say something like that to a young woman alone in a car. It could have been really frightening for someone and I bet they would never had done it if my boyfriend had been in the car.'
Taking to Facebook after the incident, Miss Root said she was wearing a vest top and that she is 'entitled to wear whatever she feels comfortable in'.
Miss Root is now trying to track down the company the men work for to complain. Â
The men's van had the company logo plastered on it and Miss Root is now trying to track the company down to make a complaint.
Miss Root was so outraged by their disgusting and continued behaviour that she posted about their shocking comments on Facebook.
She wrote:'I can't believe these men even thought this was acceptable, and to make it better they continued to drive along side me making the comments for about 10 minutes. Disgrace to humanity.'
