Jamie Laing has revealed he narrowly dodged a brush with death because his home was filled with carbon monoxide, which can be fatal.
The former Made In Chelsea said he was confused to be woken up by an alarm ringing at 6am on Saturday, alerting him to a dangerous level of the gas.
After googling how he should react to the concerning situation, the 33-year said he rang National Gas Emergency Service number and opened a window.
Sharing his predicament on his Instagram Stories, Jamie asked his followers: ‘So, if anyone has had a carbon monoxide alarm buzzing or ringing, let me know what to do.
‘Do I sit inside? Do I not sit inside? How dangerous is it? Any tricks to sleep as well because I’m absolutely exhausted, it’s been going on for half an hour.’
While he was talking, an alarm was audibly beeping in the background which Jamie pointed out, adding: ‘You hear that? It’s carbon monoxide.’
Two hours later, the Private Parts podcast host returned to the social media site and updated his fans, reassuring them a professional had resolved the scary incident.

Jamie explained: ‘He told me the whole building is full of carbon monoxide, silent killer. Can’t taste it, feel it, sense it, nothing at all.
‘The whole building is full of carbon monoxide, full of it. Everyone’s fine, everyone’s all good, it’s clear now.’
After the potentially lethal experience, Jamie urged people to check that their alarms were in working order.

He added: ‘But my point is, if it wasn’t for that beeping alarm, it could have been a different story, who knows.
‘So if you haven’t checked your carbon monoxide alarm, if you haven’t checked it, tested it, if you haven’t got one – check it.
‘Test it this weekend because it’s a silent killer, so there you go – check it.’
