A teenager dubbed ‘poo girl’ has told of the horrific moment
she got stuck down a toilet at a music festival.
Charlotte Taylor was wedged in a Portaloo for 20 minutes at Leeds Festival after
dropping her bag down the toilet and reaching down to get it.
The 18-year-old couldn’t reach her bag – which contained her phone, ticket and all her money – and lunged down to try to get it.
But poor Charlotte
got her shoulders wedged and she had to be freed by a group of laughing firefighters.
[...]
“As I got up to leave I swung my body round to open the door and my handbag slipped off my arm and disappeared down the toilet.
“It was disgusting seeing my bag down the toilet in among all the poo.”
Charlotte had been to the festival last year and, after having money stolen from her tent, was this year carrying everything with her in her bag.
“It had my phone, ticket and all my money in so if I left it I wouldn’t have been able to get home, I would have been stranded.
“I put one hand down but I couldn’t reach so I put the other one down too to try and grab it.
“I had both my hands down the toilet. I was straining so far down that I got wedged.
“My shoulders were stuck on both sides and I couldn’t move at all.
“I was struggling and trying to get out and just made it worse.

But that was just the beginning of Charlotte’s humiliation.
She continued: “Soon my friend came to look for me because I had been so long. I told her I was stuck and needed help.
“My friend raised the alarm with some firefighters but they didn’t believe her and thought it was a joke.
“Eventually my friend persuaded them to come and look.
“They still thought it was a joke and loads of them came over. They stood looking at me for a while.
“Eventually they took the top of the toilet off so they could get to me.
“Two firefighters got hold of me on either side and pulled and pulled at me.
“They pulled so hard I got bruises on my hips and shoulders.
“Loads of people were now looking on and laughing at the scene. Eventually they got me out by sheer force. They took me away to the showers where I had to get undressed and I was hosed down. I went to the welfare tent to get some clothes so I could get back to my tent to get my own clothes.
