A TikTokker has faced a wave of online criticism after a clip of him dyeing his seemingly unsuspecting girlfriend blue gained widespread attention.

Kristen Hanby uploaded a video showing him pouring blue fabric dye into a bath for his girlfriend, then laughing as she shouted angrily at him.

Footage shows her covered in the blue dye and dressed in a towel as he giggles uncontrollably while filming.

But online viewers have hit out at the prank, with some people concerned about the effect of the dye on her skin.

One person said: "The way men keep proving why they don’t deserve women isn't surprising anymore".

Another added: "How do you even undo this? I would be livid".

While a third said: "I know this is a joke but it still low key abuse, I mean he’s humiliating her for social engagement."

Even former Love Island winner, Amber Gill, shared the clip, saying: "Men have never been funny."

But some felt that his girlfriend was in on the joke, questioning why she took a while to notice the dye.

One person said: "These guys have like 6 million subs on tik tok. Most of their videos are pranks, a lot of which are fake.

"They both do this back and forth to each other for views. I really think people are blowing this out of proportion."

The video has since been removed from the short video-sharing app.

A representative for Mr Hanby has been contacted for comment.
