The Guinea Pig

The next episode of The Guinea Pig is a slightly emotional one for Fiona, as she brought her daughter Molly into the clinic to speak to Maryam. Molly has been unhappy with her nose for most of her life and Fiona thinks it's beautiful and shouldn't be touched!

As Molly is in her early 20s, it's up to her to decide what she wants to do...so will she have the filers which Maryam has recommended?

FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE A WEEK TODAY, but in the meantime enjoy this snippet...
