My friend went to extreme measures to stop me going home from a night out and ended up in A&E – the X-ray says it all
A MUM has told how her best pal swallowed her house key in a cheeky prank - then ended up in A&E.
Siobhan Stanton, from Edinburgh, gobbled down friend Adele Donkin's metal door-opener to stop her leaving the pub and heading home.

But the 35-year-old's drunken stunt awkwardly backfired as she found herself in hospital the next day.
Medics carried out an X-ray which revealed the distinctive metal shape lodged in her large intestine.
Adele, also 35, said she thought best pal Siobhan was only pulling her leg near the end of their night out in the capital
She told Fabulous: "We had been out at the local pub and it was nearly the end of the night and I was standing at the pub door with my key in my hand.
"I said to her 'I'm going home now' and she was asking me to stay out longer.
"I kept saying no then she just grabbed my key and swallowed it.
"I genuinely thought she was winding me up and had pretended to swallow it and had it hidden behind her back.
"So then I couldn't go home as my mum was night shift at work so I had to phone her at work and tell her what happened, she thought I was winding her up too. I had to stay at my friend's that night."
The mum-of-two continued: "We went to A&E, they did an X-ray and said it would pass naturally.
"It did about five days later and she asked if I wanted my key back but I said no thanks I will get a new key cut.
"Me and her always have the funniest nights out, we have been in some funny situations.

"When I asked her why she swallowed the key she said 'I would have missed you if you went home, I just wanted you to stay out'".
The 2017 incident went viral on Thursday with 200,000 TikTok views after Adele - who said it "still makes her laugh out loud" - posted about it for the first time on her page (@adeledonkin).
One person joked: "My kinda friend."
Referencing horror flick Saw, another wrote: "She really said 'let's play a game'."
