"A university academic who was trapped in the bathroom of a medieval tower for
seven hours escaped using an eyeliner and a cotton bud.


University of Cambridge academic Dr Krisztina Ilko resides in the former
Queens' College rooms of the 16th Century philosopher, Erasmus.

The historic tower has thick walls, heavy wooden doors and no window in the
bathroom.

Dr Ilko, 33, said she feared she would be trapped for days.

She believed the latch on the heavy wooden bathroom door had been broken by a
plumber working on her shower."
