The Gogglebox cast were left screaming during Friday's episode after watching a gruesome moment from Alice Roberts: Our Hospital Through Time. The Channel 5 show features Professor Alice Roberts exploring 900 years of St Bartholomew's Hospital, Britain's oldest hospital on its original site.
In the segment, Professor Roberts recreated a 17th-century operation to remove an enormous bladder stone from a patient. The Gogglebox cast reacted with horror as she explained that surgeons would operate from underneath, going through the 'root of the penis and prostate' without anaesthetic.
Cast member Giles Wood exclaimed: 'I think I'd rather call it a day, wouldn't you?' before covering his eyes and asking his wife Mary if it had finished. Lee Riley panicked, telling Jenny Newby: 'I don't drink enough water, you know!' to which Jenny quipped: 'I'm glad you're suffering for a change!'
Viewers also took to social media to share their reactions. One wrote: 'I have no words! #Gogglebox', while another said: 'I'm having to cover my ears for this bit! #Gogglebox.' A third joked: 'If that wasn't a great advert for drinking more water, I don't know what is. #Gogglebox #Stones.'
