A Welsh woman who complained of an earache was horrified when doctors found a live spider in her ear.

IT expert Victoria Price was left in agony with what she thought might be an infection or a perforated eardrum before the ‘quite big’ spider was found to be the culprit.

The Porthcawl mum, who had been in agony for more than a day, said she “was Irish dancing around the bathroom” in pain.
