A 18-year-old student in England had to be cut free by fire fighters after getting stuck in a clothes horse for more than an hour.

University of Derby student Danielle Morgan said she had been mucking around in her flatmate's room at the Sir Peter Hilton Court hall of residence on Sunday night (UK time) when the accident happened.

Ms Morgan, who is from northern Wales, told BBC News she fell off her flatmate's bed and the clothes horse fell on top of her. Her head went through the frame, before it locked into place.

"I phoned one of my friends from home when I was stuck in it and she just thought I was drunk," she said.

Her concerned friends captured footage of Ms Morgan and uploaded the video on YouTube.

While Ms Morgan is seen laughing through much of the ordeal, efforts by her friends to free her causes clear pain to the student.

"My friends just thought it was hilarious," she told BBC News. "I found it funny at first but after it got taken off I had a panic attack and the ambulance came out."

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service were called and needed to use bolt croppers to cut Ms Morgan free.

Ms Morgan suffered bruising to her neck and shoulders from the incident.
