James Buckley phoned the NHS’ 111 line in a panic over his constipation.
The Inbetweeners actor, 35, plunged into a panic while struggling to squeeze out a “hard poo” he reckons was the size of a “bowling ball”, before he desperately turned to calling the pre-emergency advice line.
Dad-of-two James, famous for playing potty-mouthed Inbetweeners character Jay, said: “I was in so much pain. My a**e was really, really, really sore.

“It was like a bowling ball. It was like a really hard, massive poo that I could not squeeze out of my tight, little bum hole.
”After his 111 call, James took laxatives and got back on the bog for another marathon squeezing session.
He added: “I was on that toilet for six hours. I was on that toilet for so long that laxatives started to kick in.
“My God, was it a relief. I felt like crying, I was so relieved. I was at my lowest ebb, that was me at my lowest.”

James’ wife Clair Meek, 35, said she was so embarrassed for him she was left thinking of ending their 11-year marriage.
The former model said: “I’ve never been so embarrassed for him in my life, how he was acting.
“Honestly, divorce was flickering through my brain. I’ve never seen anything like it.
”Since last year, James has been open about his battle with piles, and admitted he got Clair to check out the “big” lumps on his posterior.
He added about how he fears his crippling constipation bout may trigger a flare-up of the condition: “The last time I pushed out a poo that was maybe too big for me, you know what happened?
“That’s what kicked off all the piles nonsense. So in my head I was like, ‘Well, that’s piles again.’”
