The Inbetweeners star James Buckley is suffering from piles.
The actor, 35, has been left in agony with “big” haemorrhoids, which are causing discomfort when he sits down or uses the toilet.
James, who played foul-mouthed teenager Jay in the hit sitcom, said: “It’s not great, still having all sorts of problems. My bum hole is causing me problems. I’ve got a big lump. It’s really painful.” James got his wife Clair to check out the aggravated area.

Despite his painful condition, the actor’s life looks to be going from strength to strength after finding fame in The Inbetweeners.
Plenty has changed for the actor since leaving the Channel 4 sitcom, as he is close to raking in an impressive £1million from selling personal videos to fans.
The star has 4,544 five-star reviews on Cameo for clips he’s flogging for £42.50 in which he recreates his classic show catchphrase “bus w*****s”.
But he admitted that no money in the world would be enough for him to return as Jay.
He told Radio X presenter Christ Moyles: “I don’t want to go near it anymore, not because I don’t think I would have an amazing time doing it, because I know I would.
“I love the boys, I love the writers. Doing The Inbetweeners was the best job in the world.

“All we did was muck around all day long and they filmed us doing it, and, at the end of the day, we might have had an episode… or a film or something.
“But it might – you know, as I’m getting older – it’s looking like it might be the only thing that I do professionally that is universally loved.
“There’s not enough money in the world for me to spoil that,” he confessed earlier this year.
