A mum was left with "a mullet" after getting her hair caught in an electric whisk.

Natalie Walker, 38, suffered an unfortunate mishap last month when her long hair was caught in an electric whisk while she attempted to make pizza dough.

The mum-of-two ended up having to cut the whisk blades from her elbow-length locks - leaving her with "tufts".

The clips she posted garnered almost 10 million views on TikTok as she said the videos "went mental" - and said it's made her a 'local celebrity' as people recognise her wherever she goes.

She says she gets stopped by people every time she leaves the house - asking if she is "the girl who got her hair caught in a whisk".

Luckily Natalie sees the funny side - although she is now left debating whether to get her hair cut in a short pixie style as the incident left her with "a mullet".

Natalie, a full-time mum, from Preston, Lancashire, said: "I had my phone propped up making pizza dough, I was kneading it by hand but I wasn't kneading properly with my hands so I got the whisk.

"Something distracted me for a second and the next thing, my hair was caught in it. I was like 'this can't be happening!'. It's very very slowly growing back, but it was long and blonde before, now it's just tufts. I wear a hair clip to try and hide the tufts."

Luckily, Natalie's children - aged 11 and 15 - were entertained by their mum's viral moment. But poor Natalie said she hasn't touched her electric whisk since the incident - and swears she'll be sticking with a hand whisk from now on.

But thanks to the videos, Natalie said she feels like a "local celebrity" as she got so much online attention that people from her area recognise her.

She said: "I have had a fair few people each week who say 'are you the girl who got her hair caught in a whisk?'.

"I've been stopped on the bus before too. I say yes it is me - and people ask me questions like if it was painful. But I can have a laugh about it - I don't mind when they come up to me. I can't seem to walk anywhere without someone saying something now."
