Australian singer Ruel reveals bizarre bathroom tap in European hotel

Aussie singer reveals the most bizarre hotel shower he’s ever seen and how he solved the ‘riddle’ of turning the water on

A strange hotel shower tap has left a British-Australian singer completely stumped, telling his followers it was the ‘most f***ed’ hotel bathroom feature’ he’d ever seen.

Ruel, 19, recorded the video in an Italian hotel during Milan’s Fashion Week, and uploaded it to TikTok after finally solving the puzzle.

In the clip, the famous singer, whose real name is Ruel Vincent van Dijk, said he’d found the most bizarre feature in any bathroom he’d been in during his travels.

‘I’ve spent quite a lot of time in hotels over the past few years and each time figuring out the shower in every hotel is like its own little riddle because they all work very differently,’ he said. 

‘I think I’ve come across the most f***ed.’

Ruel showed viewers the inside of his shower bath where he turned on an overhanging tap that switched on the bath.

He then pulled a little switch underneath the bath tap and then turned the main tap back on, but he claimed the little switch actually activated the plug.

‘I was this close to going down to reception asking like a child how to work the shower or if it was broken,’ he continued.

‘I don’t know how I managed to figure this out.’ 

Ruel then pulled on a hidden steel cap that was located on the end of the bath tap which turned on the shower.

He described overseas hotel showers as a ‘f***ing rubix cube’. 

In the TikTok clip, which has more than 235,000 views, Ruel showed his followers how a secret steel cap was the only way to activate the shower in his hotel bathroom
