BBC presenter Holly Hamilton found herself stuck in a lift during the Storm Eowyn, sharing her experience on social media. She remained optimistic, even referencing a classic Coca-Cola advert while waiting for rescue. Eventually, a man named Stephen freed her from the lift, much to her relief.
BBC star Holly Hamilton put on a brave face after she got trapped in a lift during the Storm Eowyn chaos. The presenter, 38, shared the ordeal on her social media, posting a snap of herself looking bored as she sat cross-legged on the lift's floor. With her head resting on her hand, Holly wrote: "So it seems I'll be weathering the rest of the storm in the BBC lift which has broken down with me inside.
To keep spirits high and conversation flowing, Holly cheekily referenced a classic Coca-Cola advert from 2007 where three women are saved from their own lift debacle by a hunky man, musing: "I also have a Diet Coke... who remembers the lift ad?", reports the Mirror. She then followed up with a dash of disappointment: "Nope.. no sign of the Diet Coke man either."
Mace Head in Ireland felt this force with a record 108mph wind gust early at 4am. Wales is also taking a hit; Aberdaron reported gusts of 93mph and 70mph has been recorded in Cumbria.
