An online hunt has begun in earnest for an unfortunate Leeds Festival-goer who allegedly had to be rescued by a fire crew after becoming stuck down a long-drop toilet.
Nicknamed 'poo girl' by music fans who attended the three-day festival, the teenager reportedly dropped a handbag containing cash down the loo, and reached in to try to grab it before losing her balance.
Rumours surrounding the incident have spread quickly online, with many festival-goers claiming to have witnessed the fire crew arriving to rescue the stricken girl.
One, Ravin Dave, wrote on the Leeds Festival forum: "This is 100% true, we were talking to a fireman on Sunday night about it and he confirmed it was true.
"She apparently dropped her handbag, reached with one hand and couldn't reach, so put her other hand in and slipped.
"She didn't go fully in but her legs with sticking out the toilet. The firemen got her out, sent her to hospital and she got cleaned up and then came back."

Another, Henshi, wrote that a large crowd quickly developed at the scene, with the rescue team trying to keep people back.
"The fella up the fire point was getting all tetchy..." he said.
Numerous Facebook groups have also sprung up in an effort to find the victim and hear her story.
The 'Poo Girl Leeds Fest 2009 Appreciation Society', gained over 2,000 members in an evening, with many users posting the question: "Who is she? Own up!"
With approximately 70,000 visitors, the toilet facilities at Leeds Festival are notorious for being well-frequented - not to mention whiffy.
However, festival-goers this year were promised that the facilities would be regularly checked by teams of health monitors.
The Festival organisers were unavailable for comment on the alleged long-drop rescue.
