This Morning viewers were left feeling queasy and threatened to turn off their televisions during a particularly “disgusting” segment on Monday (March 17).
During today’s edition of the ITV daytime programme, hosts Cat Deeley and interviewed 24-year-old Latiesha Jones who rakes in £5,000 a week by selling her toenail clippings.
In addition to this, she has also profited from selling used bedsheets and bottles of her spit to anonymous buyers online. After accumulating enough money to clear her debts and purchase her first property, Latiesha is now assisting other women in doing the same.
During the chat, Latiesha revealed that she had always dreamed of becoming a doctor and thus pursued biomedical science at university, but dropped out in her second year.

She discovered her “money motivated” nature during lockdown when platforms like OnlyFans gained popularity on the internet.
“[The idea] didn’t come from anyone else, it came from a customer, they’d messaged me and asked if I could sell my spit or shower water,” Latiesha explained, reports .
“I was thinking, ‘What on earth?’ I thought at first he was joking, like it someone just taking the mick or whatever.”
Latiesha then realised that there was a “huge” community interested in “weird stuff”, so she began selling unusual items – with prices significantly increasing over time.
“I think from when I started, what I was doing at first to now, it’s changed massively. It’s more comfortable and my boundaries are much more firm and in place, and I feel like I’ve got much more control over things,” she added.

Fans of This Morning have voiced their dismay over a segment, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their frustrations.
“This is so gross, I’m turning over,” fumed one viewer, and another chimed in: “Why even have this as a segment? I feel sick.”
“Stop the world, I want to get off,” declared a third, while a fourth remarked: “Another highbrow story being discussed on This Morning.”
Echoing these sentiments, a fifth disgruntled fan asked: “Why the hell would you buy someone else’s toenails.”
