Milton Keynes ice rink has mobile phone frozen inside it

A workman was left red-faced after his daughter’s bright pink mobile phone became frozen within a newly formed ice rink.

The man put the device on the side of the rink while it was under construction in Milton Keynes.

But when 60,000 litres (13,000 gallons) of water poured into the structure – which will be home to the Willen on Ice experience – the phone became entombed in its chilly new home.

Rob Cook, director at Ice Leisure, said the phone would have to remain there for the next two months as digging it out could affect the structure of the ice.
