A man has had a shocking revelation using a device designed to remove earwax. Ellis Lloyd Jones purchased the device via social media and was stunned to find a rather unusual object in his ear whilst using reports Wales Online.

Showing off the 'ear picking stick' that he bought, Ellis, who is from Wales, explains: "I bought this a while back on TikTok shop, it's like one of those scoop-it-outy thingys for your ears to get the wax out and it's also got a camera in it with a light. I've been going at it just to see like what's inside my ears and what I can get out.

"You see the usual wax, you see hairs and stuff like that," he adds. "But I found something which I don't think you should find in your ear. Here's a warning, you're gonna see something really disgusting."

Commentating over the video taken on the in-ear camera, Ellis continues: "So, here we are. Like I said, very minging, loads of wax, loads of hairs, and then a white thing. A white thing by there."

Having spotted the mystery object, he tries to pull it out, with some difficulty. "I'm there trying to like pick it out and see if I can scoop it out," he says. "But it's just not budging."

However, after some careful extraction work, Ellis manages to get it out of his ear, and is horrified by what it turns out to be. Having cleared away the wax and unfurled it on a piece of kitchen roll, the Gala apple sticker is presented in all its glory.
