Phoebe Bartlett and her mother noticed a strange smell coming from Freddie's room, and the pair swiftly realised the three-year-old has been using the compartments in the furniture as his toilet when he couldn't be bothered to go to to the bathroom to relieve himself.

Speaking to Buzzfeed News, Phoebe said: ''What happened was mum could smell wee in her room for about a week, but couldn't find a patch from the dog, so she asked my brother if the wee was in his room.

''Then he opened the drawer and she screamed and said 'Did you do this?' And he then said he did.

''He must have been doing it while he's in his room watching his tablet, which is also on the drawer, and can't be bothered to go to the toilet, so he opened the drawer and was peeing in there.''
