THIS is the stomach-churning moment a podiatrist was forced to hack off a man's infected toenails - because he hadn't got it treated for TWO years.
The unnamed bloke was forced to visit Marion Yau - dubbed Miss Foot Fixer - by his fiance just two months before they tied the knot.
Sickening footage shows Yau - who works at London's Harley Street Foot and Nail Clinic - cutting down his toenails and using a drill to remove the infected remnants.
She assures him she would "try not to hurt him" as she applied the anaesthetic.
The clip starts with the man's first appointment six months ago.
He had a fungal nail infection so bad that his entire toenail had separated from his foot.
He was then seen a few months later with improved nails - but had to have them cut again because the infection was still there.
She said: "If a patient doesn't want a laser or [has] gone through all other medications, then one of the treatments that will probably increase the effectiveness of other treatments is the cutting and deep cleansing of the nails which are effected with the fungal infection."
Dermatologist Dr Anton Alexandroff said: "Toenails grow very slowly.
"Fungal infections are eradicated within three months but it takes up to 12 months for the affected toenail nail plates to grow out and to be substituted by a healthy non-affected nail plate.
"Surgery is not necessary but it looks better cosmetically if the affected part of nail plate is removed as in this video."
