Women finds Princess Diana in a pack of Tesco ham, spooking co-workers

A woman has told of her shock after finding the face of Princess Diana in a pack of Tesco ham.

Hattie Osma was making her lunch at work when her eyes were drawn to sliced ham she had bought earlier that day.

She thought she was seeing things when she noticed the discoloured top corner of the second slice - which she claims resembled the late Princess of Wales.

The 36-year-old sales manager rushed to show her colleagues who all agreed with her. She says everyone was spooked by the likeness and took photos to capture the bizarre finding.

Hattie even wants to preserve the ham slice and hang it in her house as it looks so "beautiful".

Speaking to GloucestershireLive, she 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."

She admitted that most people could not see Lady Diana straight away but quickly became spooked when they saw her face staring back at them.

"It must be Lady Di-vine intervention" Hattie quipped.

Sadly, Hattie had to forgo her usual lunchtime ham sandwich due to the now visible face of Lady Diana in her packet of ham.

She said: "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!"
