Millie Bobby Brown has recently revealed that her fiancé Jake Bongiovi’s nosebleed gave her the “ick.”

In an interview with BBC Radio 1 that went viral on TikTok, the “Stranger Things” actor – who is all too familiar with nosebleeds – revealed that her fiancé got a nosebleed on their flight.

She proceeded to explain why she “got the ick,” “One, because he just got a nosebleed at the most inconvenient time. We just landed. The seat belt sign was still on. He’s doing an Eleven. I’m like, ‘Calm down.’”

She then added another reason, “Two, he’s acting as if it’s painful, and I’m like, ‘It’s not painful.’”

Some fans appreciated the “Stranger Things” reference and Brown’s sense of humour. However, others found the actor’s response to the nosebleed to be insensitive.

This isn't Brown's first time sharing her unique turn-offs. In the same interview, she also revealed a dislike for men carrying umbrellas, with some fans labeling her “icks” a “red flag.”

Previously, the “Damsel” actor also told Glamour magazine she finds taking pictures of food “cringe-worthy.”

“I do not take pictures of my meals. That is where I draw the line,” she said. “My camera does not eat first. I think it’s just ridiculous. Put your phone down, eat your meal. … Never have I ever taken a picture of my food or drink. Cringe!”
