Advice Why is my downstairs toilet gargling?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My downstairs toilet has started gargling. Usually this happens when the shower is running. Does anyone know what I the cause of the problem is?

Presumably it is a blockage of some kind. Is it worth trying to unblock it with a plunger/drain cleaner or should I get a plumber in? Thanks

You need to call someone right now, if you're in a lower floor flat. I wish you all the best 🤞
