‘I knew they were going to be high waisted as they stated in the description but… they just kept on going…. and going…. and going… until they were all the way up to my armpits! 

‘The legs fitted wonderfully but dear God the top half was immensely tall. Now, I am not a small woman – I am 5ft 8in – so who knows has a torso of this size? 

‘I wasn’t angry at all at the fit to be honest, it was honestly quite amusing. I walked downstairs in shame, but also trying to hold my laughter to show my family in the living room. I got down there and the burst of hilarity was priceless to say the least.’

Despite the unusual fit, Lucy revealed she wore the leggings once to the gym, although she covered the waistband with a long top. Now she intends to hold onto the leggings, jokingly describing them as a 'family heirloom'. Pictured, Lucy at home

Speaking on her decision to share the video on TikTok, Lucy continued: ‘The leggings were sitting on my bed and I just thought to myself, “I’d love to share this with my friends I think they would get a good laugh out of it”, so that’s why I made the video really.

‘I absolutely love that people have engaged with my video and the fact I have brought a smile to some peoples faces makes me really happy.’  

She continued: ‘Before I posted the video I had around 500 followers, and now I have 13,000 which is really hard to comprehend in my head. And I am so grateful for everyone who has followed me and even just liked the video. 

‘I never in my lifetimes imagined that one of my TikTok videos would get around 10 million views, ever. But it has been really great and good fun, it has certainly brightened up my time in lockdown that’s for sure.’
