Posting the video on TikTok, Mrs Hergert is heard asking: ‘Charlotte, what’s wrong? Are you stuck? Are you a turtle, Charlotte?’

Trying to hide her giggles, she adds: ‘Is your butt stuck?’

Her father, Shea, 33, then comes to the rescue and tells her, ‘Bring your legs to your chest’, before her brother Adam, 14, slowly twists the bucket off.

Her father then cheers: ‘I saved you! Say “thank you daddy!”‘

According to her mother, she was sitting on the bucket – which contained , magnetic fruits and vegetables – ‘being funny’ but accidentally fell in.

However, this isn’t the first time the mischievous three-year-old has got stuck.

Writing on TikTok, Mrs Hergert said: ‘This was the third time she had got stuck. The other times weren’t as bad. I didn’t realize she was as stuck as she was at first!’

Before the incident, Charlotte had been playing around with makeup with Adam and the pair had painted each other’s faces.

Mrs Hergert said: 'This was the third time she had got stuck. The other times weren¿t as bad. I didn¿t¿t realize she was as stuck as she was at first!'
