A mother who found eggs of the world deadliest spider in a bunch of Tesco bananas had to incinerate her vacuum after using it to clean them up.

Abby Woodgate, 30, was told by pest control experts that she would have to burn anything that had come into contact with the Brazilian wandering spider eggs, as the arachnids are highly venomous.

She first thought the bananas had mould on them after noticing a white lump when they were delivered to her home from the store in Highwoods Square, Colchester.
