“And I was really enjoying my mince pie too, I just got distracted when someone I work with said my name, and I gulped,” the 52-year-old told SWNS. “It was rough, and really hard – I thought it was a tough piece of pastry.

McGill said she went to the hospital shortly after where medics advised that the dentures would pass through her digestive system in a few days.
