He told his followers that what lay beneath the belly button was “tonnes of debris,” “compacted in this hole,” including “bits of clothing, hairs, just random bits of skin gets stuck in there.”

If you like watching this type of thing and it seems the doctor does, he said it’s "very satisfying to remove" the gunk but added that "knowing it's in there is pretty grim."

Discussing the general nature of a belly button the doctor said, "Generally, they don't really cause many problems. But if you leave them for a while, they can actually start to smell pretty bad.

"They may also cause navel irritation and sometimes even a little bit of an infection in the area. And supposing this is the case, it can actually start to some pus surrounding the area there."

The doctor said that people should start “intentionally cleaning” their belly buttons and he recommended using a cotton bud.

Viewers were left nauseated by the clip, with one user writing "Good thing I clean mine." Another added "I remember when I discovered some in my belly button.” Whilst a third commented, "Doubt there would be one in mine."

Meanwhile, a fourth lost for words, simply said, "Wild" and another person who has been implementing the advice the doctor gave for a while now said, "I have a super deep belly button and have cut it with my nail a few times, so clean with a cotton bud regularly."
