HOW did you celebrate New Year’s Eve?
While most youngsters made a toast at midnight and partied away through the early hours, one Brit wasn’t so lucky.
As the clock ticked down to midnight, TikTok star Jack Taylor was horrified to discover that he was stuck in a lift.
What’s more, he wasn’t alone – eight strangers were trapped with him in the metal box and the temperature began to rise.
Jack has almost 135,000 followers on his social media channel and an impressive 8.2million likes.
He posted a reel of his ordeal to his TikTok page, giving fans an insight into his wild evening.

Nearly 160,000 people have tuned in so far and the video has created a real buzz.
Jack captioned his clip: “No, we hadn’t met before. Went into the new year in a very hot lift with 8 lovely strangers.”
As the video begins, viewers can see a red-faced Jack looking stressed as strangers jostle around for space in the cramped lift.
“We’re stuck,” he exclaims, while sweating in his leather jacket and black hoodie.

Eight strangers surround the Brit and as luck would have it, one is carrying some fizz.
“Get the bottle of prosecco open, I think it would help us all,” Jack tells the woman.
Holding his phone up in selfie mode, Jack films himself and his new pals.
“Stuck in a lift on New Year’s Eve,” he shouts with a grin on his face, as others manage a smile while holding their booze.

The ordeal had many ups and downs as, at one point, Jack declares: “We’re all gonna die.”
On the dot of midnight, the newly-acquainted group chants: “Happy New Year!”
But it’s a while before the gang are released from their temporary prison and Jack uses his finger to spell out ‘help me’ on the steam-soaked wall.
Despite the blistering heat and overcrowding, it looks like the group had a great time together.
An hour later, they’re laughing together and making light of their terrible situation until a fireman finally pries open the doors to save them.
The group lets out a loud cheer and they hug each other as they pile out into the corridor.
Jack’s fans have dubbed his experience a ‘core memory’, but most are saying the same thing.
“I got extremely claustrophobic as the video went on,” replied one mortified user.
“The smell of all you guys sweating, I would’ve died,” declared a second.
“I’d be in a ball on the floor with my eyes shut humming for my life to get through that,” confessed a third.
Still – everyone admits it must’ve been a funny experience.
