And Finally... Woman bitten by UK's most dangerous spider
A woman awoke in agony after being bitten by Britain's most dangerous spider.
Joanne West, 32, thinks she rolled on the poisonous False Widow - which resembles a Black Widow - as she slept.
She said: "My arm was red and burning and swelled to twice the size. Within minutes my whole shoulder was red and my right arm paralysed." Despite her pain she trapped the spider and gave it to experts. Reported bites are rare but they can cause comas.
Joanne, of Fareham, Hants, thinks the beastie got on her duvet as it hung in the garden.
