Jonnie, who is best known for his role on the Channel 4 programme, posted a photo on Wednesday after Jessica persuaded him to let her try Hopi candles in his ears. The treatment is said to remove earwax.
In the snap, Jonnie could be seen lying horizontally with the lit candle in his hear. He said: "Wasn’t sure about letting my wife stick Hopi ear candles in my lug holes but surprised/horrified with the results. I’ll spare you the ‘after’ photos!"
Fans were quick to comment. Pete said: "I tried them and literally nothing happened, except having to sit like you are for 20 minutes. I think my wife just wanted me to sit still."
Diane said: "I do mine.. Its amazing how much comes out ain't it lol", while Emma said: "I'm so tempted to give these a go".
Lyn said: "You can't beat a Hopi candle!!" and Pamela asked: "Can you hear better now?"
