Octopus sucks onto blogger’s face leaving her sobbing after she tries to eat it alive on camera
THERE was a bit of k-arma in China when a blogger tried to feast on a live octopus on camera – and it turned the tables and nearly ripped her face off.
The unnamed host, known as “seaside girl Little Seven”, was left in a sticky situation when the eight-limbed mollusc gripped tightly onto her skin, and refused to budge.
The 50-second video, shown on short-form video platform Kuaishou, shows the young woman sobbing in pain and pointing to her swollen, bloody cheek.
At the start of the disturbing clip, she puts herself in ‘arms way by showing the large octopus stuck on her face.
But it starts stretching out its tentacles, over her nose, and eventually holds tight to the skin around her left eye, and lips, while fastened to her cheek.
In a particularly grotesque part of the video she cries out in pain while trying to prise the octopus away, but the skin around her eye and mouth is nearly pulled off in the process.
The live-streaming host lives in Lianyungang and enjoys eating seafood, according to Kuaishou.
As her fans watch her gruesome experience, she tells them “look how hard it’s sucking” while trying to budge a tentacle attached to her lip, reports the Mail Online.
She then screams that it is “painful” and “I can’t remove it”.
After the woman finally manages to prise it free, she yells “I’ll eat it in the next video”, before noticing that the octopus has left her left cheek swollen and bleeding.
She then cries: “My face is disfigured.”
Known for its very large head and eight arms, an octopus uses powerful arms to grip rocks, manoeuvre through water and capture prey.

Each arm has small suction cups, to maintain a powerful grip.
According to Sciencing, each sucker is attached to the arm by a muscular base that can rotate the sucker in any direction.
And scientists who have examined the suckers under a microscope have found they have tiny grooves, which help boost the strength of an octopus’s seal so it can maintain its hold on submarine surfaces.
