Fire brigade called to Chris Smalling’s house to deal with typical footballer emergency

We've all been there

We’re guessing the hot tub was not full of water at the time

Smoke alarms save lives as well as stopping your jacuzzi from burning down your house.

That could be the new fire safety message campaign fronted by Manchester United’s Chris Smalling, after emergency services in the city were called to his gaff on Tuesday night to deal with a fire.

The defender was not at home at the time, as firefighters responded to a call to deal with a fire in the hot tub at the back of his house which it’s believed was caused by an electrical fault.

Fires or his jacuzzi was far from Smalling’s mind last night as he enjoyed a game of poker with his friends and a dirty hoover

Twitter was quick to point out the seriousness of the incident

We like the idea of Smalling being cast back to 1986 to battle it out with Paul McGrath for a place in the Manchester United defence via his now slightly charred hot-tub.
