A not-so-cunning fox managed to get itself stuck twice with just a matter of moments.

The animal got stuck in a letterbox and was found hanging upside down from a door by paperboy Liam Clement.

The 16-year-old came to the male's rescue and released its foot.

However, just seconds later, the fox ended up wedging itself between nearby bricks and a garden fence, as it tried to make a getaway.

An animal rescue charity was called out and saved the 'feisty' animal, who is now recovering from its injuries at the South Essex Wildlife Hospital in Orsett, Essex.
