A couple have been left horrified after finally uncovering the gross reason their rented bathroom smelt so awful.

Julia Lang-Malone and her husband moved into a new home on the Gold Coast of Australia earlier this year.

However, the pair were perplexed about the orange ‘grime’ that kept appearing in the corner of their shower – no matter how many times they cleaned it. 

On Tuesday, Julia uploaded a TikTok showing her rinsing away the brown particles accumulating on the shower floor.

Confused by why they kept appearing, she added: ‘You can not IMAGINE the smell.’

After noticing bits of tobacco on the floor, the couple discovered the old tenant had placed hundreds of old cigarettes in the shower frame

As she went back and forth between her bathroom sink and the shower, Julia captioned the clip: ‘Watch me discover the most disgusting thing you’ll see today.’ 

After pouring more clean water over the area, the TikToker noticed larger brown particles started to circulate.

She added: ‘Where is it coming from?! There it looks like big chunks of tobacco from cigarettes.’ 

Moments later, Julia spotted two cigarette butts on the shower floor – confirming her suspicions that the old tenants had been shower smokers. 

Rather than disposing of their cigarettes, the video ends with Julia discovering how they had placed hundreds of butts in the hollow shower frame – which runs most of the way up along the wall.

‘I think I’ve f***ing figured it out,’ she said. ‘This b***h was dumping her cigarettes down this little square here so now we have an unlimited stash of cigarette butts in this thing here.’ 

After uploading the two-minute TikTok earlier this week, Julia’s clip proceeded to rack up over 4.7m views – prompting some users to speculate that perhaps the water was just rusty.

In response to this comment, Julia posted a follow-up video of her and her partner prising open the shower frame to expose the hundreds of old, wet cigarette butts that had been left there by the previous resident. 

Julia’s videos have amassed millions of views over the past four days. Pictured responding to a viewer who said the cigarettes looked like ‘pasta’

Sharing the footage with invested viewers, Julia wrote: ‘IT IS NOT RUST!’ 

While her partner is heard saying ‘holy s**t’ in the camera, a horrified Julia said: ‘Oh my god…’

In a third video, she addressed her viewers and said: ‘Okay I did [initially] think this was that fungus you guys were talking about when we looked at it last night.

‘But if you look closer, it is 1000 per cent cigarette butts.’

Speaking to Yahoo News Australia, Julia added: ‘It’s really, really stinky.

‘We’ve basically wrecked the whole shower — which is a bummer — to get access to the cigarettes, but we didn’t have much choice because it was so disgusting and we were desperate.

Unsurprisingly, the footage of the decaying cigarettes left the millions of people who have viewed Julia’s series similarly stunned.

The videos left viewers horrified and racked up millions of views in the past four days. One said the behaviour was ‘feral’

‘THIS IS FERAL,’ one said. 

‘I want to be sick,’ another added. ‘Oh my godddd.’

A third wrote: ‘Who on earth was smoking in a bathroom? A teenager??’

‘I thought they were mushrooms at first,’ a fourth replied.

Meanwhile, a fifth mused: ‘I thought it was pasta!’
