Victoria Price, 42, from Porthcawl, Wales, suffered earache after swimming in the sea and thought it was due to a perforated eardrum or an infection. She filled her ear with cotton wool, but still, the pain persisted. Asking her husband to check for infection, he remarked: 'There's something alive in there'. In hospital, a nurse removed a live, wriggling spider (inset) with forceps and said it was 'twice the size it looked'. Fortunately, an examination showed the spider had not caused any problems. Mrs Price said: 'There was no further damage - or any eggs laid - as everyone keeps asking me.'
