Fortunately for Smith, a friend back in New Zealand saw the post and was able to get in touch with him to tell him where his belongings were.
In another Instagram story around seven hours later, Irvin is with Smith and the pair were marvelling at the "power of Instagram".
"I found Aiden Smith aka Gerkin, he ended up in the gutter but his friend in New Zealand is my Instagram follower and we got it back to him nice and safe, power of Instagram," Irvin told her followers.
Smith can be seen beside her proclaiming: "I've got my phone back!"

Irvin shot to fame after being married to Troy Delmege on the drama-filled series.
Despite their rocky relationship, Irvin stuck it out with Delmege for the duration of the show only to have him break it off with her at the end of the series.
Delmege then went onto shock Irvin and viewers when he turned up at the reunion episode with fellow contestant Carly Bowyer on his arm.
