Baby's bucket lift: Adorable moment a tiny tot had to be taken to hospital after she got herself wedged in a metal pail while mum washed the kitchen floor.

Curious toddlers can end up in the strangest of places when they learn to walk and start exploring.

But the mother of this youngster was shocked to turn around while cleaning and find her daughter stuck fast in a bucket.

Little Minnie Snodgrass had to be removed by firemen after clambering into the pail while her mother, Gemma, was mopping the kitchen floor of the family home in Conisborough, South Yorkshire.

Mrs Snodgrass said she popped upstairs for a moment before finding her 16-month-old giggling in the bucket.
'She must have climbed in, sat down and got wedged. I had just mopped the kitchen floor and emptied the bucket,' she explained.

'I went upstairs and I heard Minnie's four-year-old brother Matthew shout "Mum, Minnie's stuck". I picked up the bucket and panicked when I couldn't get her out.'
