“Potty-mouthed” 4yo left stuck with toilet seat on her head

The toddler was in hysterics.

This is the hilarious moment a four year old managed to get her head stuck in a TOILET SEAT – taking firefighters 45 minutes to remove.

Mischievous Darcy-lillian Hillberg managed to get her entire head lodged in the seat and couldn’t get it off.

Mum, Gemma, 32, used all her strength to try and free her daughters head, as well as handfuls of washing up liquid, Vaseline and body creams.

But nothing worked, so the mum of four was then forced to visit their local fire station to ask for help.

Gemma and Darcy-lillian were left waiting for 45 minutes before firefighters had the correct equipment to free her.

Thankfully everyone found the entire ordeal hilarious and Darcy-lillian was safely freed using specialist pliers.

Gemma, from Penarth, South Wales said: “I had been packing to move house and the toilet seat was in a box when she grabbed it.

“All of a sudden Darcy-lillian came running over smiling and saying it had popped on her head.

“It was a removal toilet seat she used so she could sit on the ‘adult loo.’

“My instant reaction was to laugh but then I thought ‘how will I get this off?’

“I tried to lift it over her head but it was too tight and I didn’t want to hurt her eyes.

“Darcy-lillian was laughing and swinging it around her neck at the same time.

“I didn’t have anything to cut it off with myself so my mum, Mandy Hillberg, 56, suggested I went to the local fire station.

“When we arrived with Darcy-lillian and the toilet seat over her head they all started laughing at her.

“It took 45 minutes to get it off her head as the specialist pliers they needed were on the fire engines that were out on jobs.

“Everyone kept trying to ensure she wasn’t frightened but she didn’t care at all, she was proud of what she’d done.”

Gemma, who is also mum to Cody, 11, Sienna, nine and Kendall, one, remembers the ordeal which happened on August 24 last year, like it was yesterday.

She added: “Darcy-lillian even says now when we pass the fire station, ‘remember when I got the toilet seat stuck,’ and then she laughs.

“We all found it so funny and if it wasn’t for the pictures we took throughout, no one would believe it even happened.

“It’s one of those things we will never forget as it was so funny, I still laugh about it now.”
