Singer Katie Melua was shocked to find an eight-legged creature living in her ear!
After wearing a set of headphones, the 30-year-old began hearing ‘scratching’ noises from her head.
She went to the doctor where he performed a scan, only to find an unwelcome visitor had set up home inside Katie’s pretty ears.
She tweeted: “So I had a rustling in my ear for a week and went to the doctor to have it checked out this morning. THIS little fella is what they found!
“Basically I used these old in-ear monitors to block out sound on a flight, little spider must have been in them and crawled inside my ear and stayed there for the week. It was no hassle at all, apart from the occasional shuffling noises…
“Though the thing looked TERRIFYING up-close on the doctor’s camera, once he took him out ( using a micro Hoover ) it was pretty small, and now its in this little test tube, alive and seemingly fine.”
She also shared a snap of her new friend on her Instagram page.
EWWWWW!!!
The fate of the spider is not yet known.
We are now off to check our ears for spiders… shudders
