Liberty Poole has 'nightmare' with new sofa after using unconventional measuring method

Liberty Poole has teased she had a "nightmare" trying to get a new sofa into her home, with her admitting she didn't do the measures right for the piece of furniture.

The reality TV star, 23 - who rose to fame on Love Island last year - took to Instagram yesterday to document the experience which she shared with her fans on the platform.

Liberty posted a photo that showed parts of a beige-coloured sofa in a hallway and wrote in the accompanying caption it had proved a challenge manoeuvring it inside.

"My new sofa has been a nightmare trying to get in this place. I did not do the measurements correct," the former islander wrote in the post, which included a laughing emoji.

Shortly afterwards, Liberty issued a follow-up in which she provided context. It saw her reveal she hadn't actually used a tape measure to size up her furniture or space.

Liberty instead said she had an unconventional method of measuring as she told her followers that she had measured items and parts of her home in phone lengths.

She shared a screenshot of some notes she had made, which included various measurements. It showed that she had been using a phone's dimensions as a guide.

The former islander however said she hadn't been aware of such. She shared a screenshot that showed the dimensions of an iPhone model, saying she had used that instead.

She wrote: "Had so many pop up to say there's actually an app you can measure with. I had no idea but this was the method behind the madness". She added a laughing emoji.
