Love Island's Malin Anderson's panic as she calls fire brigade as daughter becomes trapped in car
Former Love Island contestant Malin Andersson had to call in the fire brigade after her daughter Xaya accidentally locked herself in the car. The reality TV star shared the alarming experience on social media, explaining how her little one managed to get hold of the keys and lock herself inside the vehicle along with Malin's phone.
Malin, 31, recounted the ordeal that unfolded when she was about to take Xaya out of the car at the park. She posted pictures of the firefighters working to unlock the car as she watched anxiously from the side.
Alongside the images, Malin wrote: "Man. Heads up to all my fellow mummas out there, yesterday I took Xaya to the park and stepped out to let her out, she swiped the keys and locked herself in."
"My phone and everything else was in there and I was like F**K. The fire brigade came and opened the door safely within minutes but this never crossed my mind and I could have been in a worse situation where my friend wasn't with me and I hadn't had access to a phone."
She continued, highlighting the importance of being aware of such dangers: "The design of the car has a crazy anti-burgling system so there was no way in. The firemen were absolutely amazing and Xaya luckily was calm until the end when she saw them surrounding her. If this is something you haven't thought off please be aware as I wasn't. And it's easily done.", reports the Mirror.
"The maddest thing about this was that I meditated before I left and saw flashing lights and police and was like eh. Almost like a premonition who knows... This taught me to be extra vigilant - SHOUT OUT TO THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT HELPED."
Her post, which has received over 9,000 likes, was quickly filled with comments from other mums sharing their similar experiences. TOWIE's Chloe Lewis responded: "I did the same thing but the car locked itself. Beau was 8 months on a hot summers day. It was the worst panic I've ever had."
Meanwhile, The Apprentice star Jessica Cunningham wrote: "This happened to me, except, I was in the rain, I had a short skirt, no coat, Digby fell asleep and it took my other half 40 minutes to come with the spare key, whilst I waited in the cold rain watching him sleep all cosy."
