Leave it in the airing cupboard with the rubber grommet thing out, at least overnight. Good luck.

Don't panic! It'll be fine. Leave it for a week beside a radiator (not on one). You might even put it in a bowl of rice; an old classic for drawing out moisture.

I found the parts of an android phone lying scattered across a hill road in the pouring rain. I dried it out over the course of four days, turned it on and called the owner's mum. Turns out it had been sitting in the rain for days.
