A Place in The Sun star 'trapped' in property as she screams 'I can't get out'

A Place In The Sun presenter Leah Charles-King has recently shared a frightening incident from her time on the Channel 4 favourite, revealing how she was 'trapped' in a restroom while filming for the show. In a candid moment with her followers, Leah took to social media and posted a clip explaining that it took half an hour before the crew noticed she had gone 'missing'.

The footage commences with a shot of the locked door, Leah's voice echoing: "I'm trapped in the bathroom. Hello." She then turns the camera to her face, explaining: "Seriously I can't get out." Her post was captioned: "This was the luxe property where I got TRAPPED in the bathroom for 30 minutes before anyone even realised I was missing! ! ! ! #aplaceinthesun."

Fans flocked to the comments section, one person suggesting: "That's your card for Would I Lie To You? sorted." prompting Leah to respond, "Good call! Saving this if I'm ever asked, cos my brain is a sieve."

Adding a touch of humour to her predicament, another fan remarked, "That very calm 'hello'" to which Leah humorously replied with three laughing emojis: "I'd be screaming for hourssssssss."

It comes as Leah previously opened up about her ongoing battle with mental health issues, reports the Mirror. Previously part of the '90s girl band Kleshay, Leah battled severe symptoms that pushed her towards deep despair, struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression.

Leah's battle with depression reached a critical point despite being prescribed medication; she nearly jumped from an eighth-floor window until a timely intervention by a friend.

Chatting to the Express, Leah recounted the harrowing experience: "If I didn't get help today, I knew what I was going to do and so I wrote this note and I plucked up the last bit of strength that I had to go into what I believed was my final battle."

She added:"I remember standing in this queue in tears - silent tears - and when I got to the front of the queue to reception, I just passed this note across the desk [saying] 'I'm suicidal and I need help now. If you send me home, I'm going to kill myself'. It was that blunt and obviously, it was all panic stations."
