A woman almost broke her neck after she slipped and fell while doing the ice-bucket challenge.
Amanda Davey, 40, looked relaxed as she sipped a drink and spoke to the camera as her mother Irene Vitali held a bucket of icy water over her head.
But once the task was complete the beauty salon manager rushed away soaked in water with bare feet.
As she approached the house and went into the kitchen the mother-of-two slid and knocked herself unconscious. When she came round she was slurring her speech.
Her family took her to Southport Hospital in Merseyside and medics said she could have broken her neck.
She told the Metro: “I had pins and needles all down my arms and when I went to speak blurred words came out. I had only had half a glass of wine, so I know it wasn’t that.”
Luckily she was diagnosed with a severe case of whiplash and was allowed back home.
She added: “The hospital thought I might have broken my neck, but when the doctor examined me he said I had been very lucky and only had severe whiplash.”
