The 6.7-magnitude quake struck in the Aegean Sea on Thursday night – triggering a small tsunami.

Turkish resort Bodrum was also affected, with McNaughton holidaying in Dalaman further down the coast.

In a post on his official Twitter account, McNaughton wrote: “Jesus just experienced earthquake in Turkey, literally c****** myself room shaking all over place, just stood outside now no sure what to do.”

He described being afraid the building would fall down – adding that he “grabbed the kids and done [sic] a runner wasn’t fun at all”.

McNaughton is best known for his time at the Bluebirds, where he earned icon status in a nine-year stint.

He retired last season following a one-year spell at Inverness Caledonian Thistle in his homeland.
