A BBC presenter took to their social media page to reveal they got trapped in the lift amid the storm
BBC presenter Holly Hamilton tried to look on the bright side after getting stuck in the lift during the storm.
She took to her Twitter/X pager to share a picture of herself sitting cross-legged on the floor of a lift. The star leaned her head on her hand as she gave the camera a tired look. She captioned the post: "So it seems I’ll be weathering the rest of the storm in the BBC lift which has broken down with me inside.
"The good news is, it was on the way back from the vending machine so I have a Wispa. And at least it’s not windy in here." She later returned to the comment section to provide an update and said a 'chap' came out but wasn't allowed to rescue her.
She wrote: "So a chap came out but isn’t authorised to rescue me so they have to call in someone who’s responsible for the lift. Given the day that’s in it, that could be problematic. I’ll make myself comfortable." To pass the time, Holly asked followers if they remembered a popular Coca-Cola advert from 2007, which had three women being rescued by a good-looking man while stuck in a lift.
Holly shared updates with fans on social media
She thanked a man named Stephen after he rescued her
"I also have a Diet Coke… who remembers the lift ad?" the presenter wrote before adding: "Nope.. no sign of the Diet Coke man either." When she was finally rescued from isolation, Holly filmed Stephen - the man who rescued her - and said: "I'm out, I'm free, I'm not getting back into that lift."
The star added in the caption: "STEPHEN TO THE RESCUE. (I think I made it awkward bringing up the Diet Coke man.. I blame the solitary confinement.) Thanks Stephen!" Storm Éowyn is barrelling its way across the UK, cancelling rail services and flights, and is expected to damage buildings, uproot trees and cause power cuts.
