Gran has people in stitches as she joins grandkids in park - but gets stuck in tunnel

A "cool gran" has left people in stitches on social media after a video went viral showing her getting stuck in a playground tunnel while trying to keep up with her grandchildren.

The woman's daughter, Donna Turner, shared the video after she took her children and her mum Tina to enjoy the park at Robin Hill, Isle of Wight.

And when Tina decided to join her grandkids as they made their way through the treehouse playground, she ultimately found herself getting stuck inside a wire tunnel that looped underneath the tall wooden structure, the Daily Star reports.

The grandma attempted to shimmy her way through the tunnel but came to a stop in the middle of it as she jokingly declared she was "too fat" to turn herself around in the tube so that she could continue head-first.

In the video, which was shared on Donna's @donnaturner05 TikTok account, the woman's daughter could be heard shouting: "Just put your head forward."

To which Tina quipped: "I can't, I'm too fat to get around."

Luckily, Tina wasn't trapped for long, as her adult son came to her rescue and used his feet to "push her out", while at the same time getting the gran to turn herself over to make getting out of the tunnel easier.

Her struggle did attract the attention of some other park-goers though, and by the time she managed to get herself out of the tunnel, several people were cheering "come on Tina" in an attempt to boost her confidence.

Commenters on the TikTok video were left in stitches by the nan's antics, with one person even stating the video was worthy of being sent to a home video TV series such as America's Funniest Home Videos, or the UK equivalent, You've Been Framed.

Another commenter said: "Tina certainly tried her best."

While someone else wrote: "Bless her! I bet she was glad she put her modesty shorts on under her dress."

And a third posted: "I can't breathe watching this."

When another person asked why Tina didn't go back the way she came, to which Donna explained there was a queue of children waiting behind her for their turn in the tunnel.

Donna also joked that there's "no part two" in the story, saying: "I got bored of waiting and left her there."
