An American woman has left her followers in stitches after filming her British boyfriend doing something that gives her "the ick".

As she walks up to the glass, Paul can be seen surrounded by extension leads, with a mirror and a razor. He is, in fact, shaving his beard - outside in the cold.

Paul then looks at the camera and starts laughing. As Alex films the electrical leads going from inside her house to the outside, she says: "Because this looks like a really good idea."

"He's so thoughtful," added Bibi. "That's actually a good idea! I'll have to get hubby to do it," Tracey commented.

It comes after Alex shared the controversial tea in a microwave method video on TikTok, where it has since been viewed more than 10 million times.

Paul took one sip on the cup of tea and immediately put the mug down, with a look of disgust on his face. "What is that? That is disgusting. Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude – but that is not a cup of tea," he told her. He is left horrified when she reveals she microwaved it, and throws the mug on the ground.

It triggered an array of angry responses from Brits who were appalled at the tea making method. "That was an appropriate response. The real red flag is how you made that tea," one Reddit user commented, while another added: "No way he should leave you at once."

A third commented: "That was so painful to watch, you make me sick," and a fourth added: "Throwing the cup was justified. If you say otherwise clearly you're not British."
