A 60-stone woman once dubbed 'Britain's fattest teenager' has been dramatically lifted out of her home by a crane during a seven-hour emergency operation to take her to hospital.

A number of roads had to be closed in the neighbourhood as firefighters worked to remove Georgia Davis, 22, from her specially-adapted flat in Aberdare, south Wales.

At the height of the operation yesterday, neighbours said there were 12 fire, police and ambulance vehicles at the property.

The young woman has previously had to be removed from another property in 2012. At the height of today's operation, neighbours said there were 12 fire, police and ambulance vehicles at the property

French doors at the front of the property were reportedly removed to allow crews to winch the morbidly obese woman out of her home using the crane.

It is the second time Ms Davis has had to be rescued in such a way.

An eye-witness, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Mirror: 'It's absolute chaos. There's 999 vehicles everywhere and dozens of emergency service workers.

'All the roads are shut down and parents and school transport can't get to the nearby schools and colleges, it's been complete lock down all day.'

Retired Margaret Evans, 79, who also lives on the road, said she believed that Ms Davis fell and was unable to get back up again.

She told MailOnline: ‘There was loads of traffic here. They had the crane and they shut all the roads. I don’t think they could get her out of the house.

‘They were here for ages, all afternoon. There were police cars in the middle of the road and no one could get in or out.

‘They tried to get her out and they had to take out the French windows eventually. There were so many people crowded watching.

‘Somebody said she fell, if she did I expect she couldn’t get back up again.

‘It’s not very nice, it was quite a disturbance.’

Ms Evans said she had a stint in hospital at the same time as Ms Davis a few years ago.

She said: ‘They had to put three hospital beds together for her and she had her own room.

‘Somebody said she’s 50 stone now. I know she was 30 stone in hospital.’

Neighbour Janice Love described Ms Davis as a ‘lovely’ person and said she always gives her a wave when she passes her house.

She said: ‘I’ve spoken to her a lot of times and she’s so nice. I’ve got daughters that age and it’s so sad.

‘We wave into her through the window and sometimes she stands outside with her dog. She always waves back and is more than happy to chat.

‘She has two friends living with her, one I think is her carer.

‘She’s very quiet. I hope she’s going to be alright. She’s such a lovely person.’

Ms Davis, who has suffered with yo-yo dieting for most of her life, also had to be removed from another property on a crane in 2012.

During that incident, a 40-strong team of builders, scaffolders and crew from all three emergency services was involved in the complex operation to remove Ms Davis from her home.

As well as knocking down walls, the emergency services were forced to build a temporary ramp from the first floor of the house to the pavement to get her out. Local traffic also had to be diverted.

The operation to cut into her home, which came after she telephoned her mother to say she couldn't stand up, cost emergency workers an estimated £100,000.

After that rescue operation, Ms Davis was admitted to the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil where she stayed for several months due to suffering organ failure. While there, she dropped down to 40stone.

At the time she vowed to lose more weight and get her life back on track, saying: ‘I'm sick of being like this - I'm getting my life back.’ She went on to lose 18st in four months.

Ms Davies, who has suffered from bullying for most of her life, originally started to gain weight when she began comfort eating following the death of her father.

But in August 2008, a 33st Ms Davies was told by doctors to 'lose 20 stones or die.'

Spurred into action, she attended a £3,600-a-month diet academy in the U.S - dubbed 'Fat Camp' - for nine months, during which time she shrank to 18st and beat her Type 2 diabetes.

While at the Wellspring Academy in North Carolina, she was seen by behavioural coaches, food psychologists and fitness trainers and encouraged to walk 10,000 steps every day.

But, after returning to the UK in June 2009, she discovered her step-father had cancer. She moved back into her parents' home and started putting on weight again. In less than a year, she had piled on another ten stone.

The 5ft 6in woman admitted how she used to order up to 20 kebabs each week from a takeaway and gorge throughout the day on chocolate, crisps and two litre bottles of Coca Cola.

Her mother Lesley has also previously spoken of her guilt over the woman's obesity.

In an interview, she said she and her daughter had started comfort eating after her husband Geoff died when Ms Davis was five.

But she said she had later made a determined effort to change their diets – such as making her own chips instead of buying them from the takeaway.
