Paige Banks recently had a terrifying experience, and she shared the moment on social media. The Married at First Sight star found herself in quite the predicament, being locked inside an elevator for over an hour. 

Two men eventually came to Paige’s rescue, but at the time, it must’ve been a frightening time for the reality TV personality. She later shared a screenshot of the men as they attempted to get her out of the enclosed space.

It’s unclear if Paige was alone or if there were other people trapped inside the elevator with her. Nonetheless, she was happy to be free after over an hour of waiting, and she opened up about her ordeal on social media.
