Stuck on 'Erasing...' screen whilst resetting

Hi,

My Nexus 5 running Lollipop was constantly crashing so I decided to factory reset. I am stuck on the 'Erasing...' screen, I had a dead Android come up, when I tried to power off an on the 'Erasing...' screen came back.

I am going on holiday tonight and I'd really like it to work, its kinda essential.

I have never booted or flashed as its a bit beyond me and thats the only solutions I can find.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Give it about an hour and a half. That's about how long it took both of my Nexus 5's to factory reset.
