By now, many of you out there are proud owners of a Selfie Stick. Some of you probably received one as a Christmas gift.

It amazes me the lengths that people go to to get the perfect ‘selfie’ photo.

Over the past year, multiple people have died attempting the perfect selfie.

Over the Christmas holidays, I have seen two people almost knock themselves out when their phones have fallen out of their selfie stick while they were dangerously hovering it above their heads.

Nan’s phone fell and cracked her dentures and she had to visit the out of hours emergency dentist.

I remember reading of a couple who were on holiday in Portugal and fell off a cliff while trying to snap a selfie amid the scenery, while a teenage girl fell off a bridge in Spain mid-selfie!

I fell off the settee trying to get a selfie picture for this item.

I’m OK, but my camera fell in my Christmas sherry so won’t work anymore, hence the lack of a picture.
