A dad who posted a series of popular videos showing himself playing pranks on his young daughters, and getting them to act out bizarre stunts, has been booted off YouTube.

Greg Chism had more than 8.5million followers on his Toy Freaks channel, which featured daughters Annabelle and Victoria, before it was shut down.

Among the videos posted were clips showing the girls pretending to throw up, urinate on each other and rescuing dummies from the toilet.

The girls, believed to be around six and eight, also regularly joined their father by sucking on dummies and acting like babies.

Mr Chism has previously been accused of exploiting his children for internet fame, and YouTube bosses said they acted in a clampdown designed to protect children.

One video, Buzzfeed reports, showed the girls begging their dad to stop as he tried to scare them with animals.

In a statement to Variety, he said: "While it is disturbing to me that anyone would find inappropriate pleasure in our video skits, I deeply appreciate YouTube’s concerns for my family and I could not be happier with having had this remarkable experience.”

According to The Guardian , Toy Freaks was the 68th largest channel on YouTube.

In a statement, YouTube said: "It's not always clear that the uploader of the content intends to break our rules, but we may still remove their videos to help protect viewers, uploaders and children. We've terminated the Toy Freaks channel for violation of our policies.

"We take child safety extremely seriously and have clear policies against child endangerment. We recently tightened the enforcement of these policies to tackle content featuring minors where we receive signals that cause concern."
