A TODDLER escaped death after plunging from a balcony – into a British tourist's arms.

Helen Beard, of Worksop, Notts, was sunbathing at her hotel in Orlando, Florida, when she spotted Jah-Nea Myles, two, on fourth-floor railings.

As witnesses screamed, the tot fell but Helen, 44, caught her in the nick of time. The child, who was not seriously hurt, had got out while a family friend looking after her went to the bathroom.
