This is the nail-biting moment a toddler was seen scaling the outside of a block of flats while her 'mother was in the shower'.

The little girl appears to climb out a window before walking along the narrow ledge in Playa Paraiso, Tenerife.

She scurries towards the apartment's balcony while brushing her left hand on the wall for support.

The unnamed child reaches a railing around the veranda and sits down on it, as she is filmed from a neighbouring apartment complex.

Rather than climbing over the balcony to safety, the toddler starts to go back the way she came.

The child jumps as she appears to lose her footing and races back along the ridge, before stopping at the window where the footage ends.

It was reported on social media that the girl had escaped while her mother was in the shower.

The clip was shared on I Love Tenerife's Facebook page with the caption: 'OMG! This toddler managed to climb out of this building window whilst the parents were taking a shower.

'This apparently happened over the weekend at a property in Playa Paraiso, Tenerife!'
