Recently, a light switch in my kitchen, while it is still working, sits out per the image below. I noticed today, the oven wall switch is similar. What is happening.

So far after reading the responses, I removed the light switch cover plate, turned off the power and unscrewed the main plate from the wall. Its very different to a powerpoint - (I was hoping for red wire to red colcur hole etc). Not so, I will hope that these two are isolated and it doesnt start happening all over the house, and just get an electrician in.
