Woman trapped in window while trying to retrieve poo

The amateur gymnast was on a first date with Bristol student Liam Smith when she "panicked" and threw the faeces out of the window.

It did not land in the garden, but became wedged between two non-opening windows.

After climbing in head first after it, she became wedged.

Mr Smith had to call the fire brigade for help.

The story appeared on a crowdfunding page, set up by the University of Bristol student.
