The skilled surgeon carefully removed the tip of the banana and demonstrated how she would tackle the op on a man.

She grinned while wielding the knife, saying: "To do a circumcision you just mark it all the way round here...

"And essentially you are trying to cut that bit, open it out, fold it back back, take off that bit of skin."

But viewers were left wincing as she deftly sliced the banana.

One person said: "Circumcision demonstration on a banana was unexpected."

Another added: "Awwww the guys crossing their legs as the surgeon circumcised a banana."
