In three years, the capital's fire brigade have spent almost £400,000 coming to the aid of those trapped in sticky situations with 1,300 call-outs needing a helping hand.

One man was stuck in this unfortunate 'slip' with a toaster and called the LFB to come and rescue him from his pants-down scenario.

But it wasn't just a toaster that got the worst of it.

Another man had to be rescued from having his manhood stuck in a vacuum cleaner.

More youngsters are becoming stuck in household objects too.

A boy had to be broken free from a tambourine after he somehow got his head stuck in the musical instrument.

Other children have got various body parts trapped in potties, an ironing board and a vase.

Crews are called to more than one incident every day involving someone trapped.

There has also been rise in the number of emergency calls to be rescued from handcuffs with the release of the book franchise Fifty Shades of Grey.

Almost 500 call-outs over the last three years have been for people with rings stuck on their fingers.

London Fire Service’s Third Officer Dave Brown, said: “Some of the incidents our firefighters are called out could be prevented with a little common sense.

“I’d like to remind everyone 999 is an emergency number and should only be used as such.

“When firefighters are out attending to some of these avoidable incidents, someone else could be in real need of emergency assistance.”
