'Put it away!' Reality star's accidental x-rated pic shocks fans

Warning: Uncensored image

A reality TV star has left his fans shocked after sharing - then quickly deleting - an x-rated photo of himself on social media.

On Friday, Geordie Shore star Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle posted a candid pic to his Instagram account of him taking a bubble bath with his 22-month-old son, Chester.

Within minutes, many of his 3.6 million followers flooded the comments section to point out that a rather private part of the 31-year-old’s anatomy was also on display.

Just as quickly, the father-of-one removed the offending post and issued a heartfelt - yet cheeky - apology.

Fans tell Gaz to ‘put it away’

New dad Gaz, who appeared on the MTV reality series from 2011 to 2017, became well known for his large *ahem* member after his co-star and ex-girlfriend Charlotte Crosby comparing it to a ‘parsnip’.

And in this seemingly innocent happy snap, his ‘parsnip’ was clearly visible through the bath bubbles, leaving fans in a frenzy.

“Geez, put it away!” one shocked fan wrote in the comments.

“At least we know parsnips float,” another joked.

“Hahaha the parsnip made an unwanted appearance,” laughed one.

“Do u know that ur pee pee can be seen in the pic and it’s all over fbk?” asked another.

“It’s about time we all saw this famous parsnip!” wrote one.

Gaz apologises for ‘d*ck’ pic

Following his fans’ outrage, the Brit quickly deleted the x-rated image and replaced it with a family-friendly version in which his bits and bobs are well covered.

He then took to his Instagram stories to address the gaffe and say sorry about exposing his ‘d*ck’ to the world.

“I just want to apologise, Emma [McVey, his partner] sent me a picture of me and Chester in the bath,” he said in the video.

“I put it straight on Instagram... Not noticing that my d*ck was floating in the water,” he went on while balancing Chester, who he shares with partner Emma, 27, on his knee.

“So I apologise, the picture is deleted and yeah... Sorry,” Gaz concluded.

Just as they were quick to notice the explicit detail in the original photo, Gaz’s followers were also speedy to spot his switcheroo.

“Nobody wants to see your 🍆 anymore anyways,” joked one fan.

“Changed the Pic quick quick,” noted another.

Many were disappointed that they didn’t get a glimpse at the naughty pic before it was removed.

“Awwww man you changed the picture haaha,” complained one.

“I missed the pic gutted,” another said.

“How many screenshots are circulating now though”.
