A man in Australia had to be pulled from a washing machine while totally naked after a game of hide and seek went seriously wrong.

The man is said to have taken to the machine in a bid to hide from his fellow players, only to find he could not get out.

It took around 20 minutes for rescuers to assist him in getting out of the appliance. They are even believed to have used olive oil as a lubricant to ease his escape.

Sergeant Michelle De Araugo explained "it was just a game gone wrong" and that "it would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed". Few details about the individual involved have been released.

The incident occurred in the town of Mooroopna, north of Melbourne, on Saturday (January 4th).

Another unnamed officer had a few words of advice for anyone else who might be thinking of pulling a similar stunt, noting it is always best to avoid using appliances during hide and seek.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801679243-ADNFCR
