Chrissy Teigen cut a hole in the $17.5million (£12.8m) mansion she shares with John Legend to rescue their missing pet hamster.
Chrissy, 35, shared the shenanigans in a thrilling IGTV video on Instagram, as friends joined her in trying to free the hamster that had been missing for three days.
After ‘hearing faint scratching in the wall,’ the model realised where her hamster had been all that time.
Wearing a fancy floral robe with fur trimming, the TV personality chiseled a hole in the wall before seeing their pet’s nose poking through, and could be heard saying: ‘It’s ok Peanut Butter, we’re coming.’
The couple’s daughter Luna, five, made a cameo in the short film, with a helper explaining to her: ‘He’s using [the wires] like a rope to climb.’
The group worked together to figure out the best way to free their beloved hamster, using a torch, ladder, and ultimately a screwdriver to complete the escapade.

Chrissy was prepared to hammer through the foundation to speed up the process, but was warned by a pal: ‘Don’t take the hammer!’
The cookbook author was finally reunited with her furry friend after feeding her seeds to nibble on before crawling out through a punctured partition and into the safety of a hamster ball.

Once the mission was complete, Chrissy turned to the camera with an elated expression, cradling the hamster ball and letting out a relieved cackle.
