Socket popped and no idea what to do!

Plugged in my phone charger and there was a loud pop...a bit like a party popper going off. Smell of burning/smoke. I flicked off the power at the socket wearing a rubber glove, but a bit unsure now about going to bed. Do I need to turn all power off and have all my food go off overnight...?

Just me and ds here, no idea about electrics 😣

Anyone had this happen before? Any advice? Thanks

Did your fuse box not trip?

It'll be fine. Go to sleep.

No it didnt trip @WouldstrokeTomHardy. Everything that was plugged in remains on...just seems to be that one socket.

Will call an electrician in the morning to check I suppose. Didnt half make me jump!

And thx @AnyFucker

It really will be ok. If there is no longer anything plugged into that socket nothing more can happen

It was just a faulty fuse or something that did the job it was supposed to which is to break the circuit

All done. Sweet dreams !
