Katie Melua discovered she had a spider living in her ear for a week
Singer Katie Melua discovered a spider was living in her ear after suffering scratching in her ear for a week, reports GHN.
The pop star posted a picture of the spider on Instagram after an ear specialist removed it from her ear.
The 30-year-old believes the spider crawled inside her ear after she used a pair of earphones on a flight, according to the Mail On Sunday.
She posted: "Basically I used these old in-ear monitors to block out sound on a flight, a little spider must have been in them and crawled inside my ear and stayed there for the week.
"Though the thing looked terrifying up-close on the doctor's camera, once he took him out (using a microhoover) it was pretty small, and now it's in this little test tube, alive and seemingly fine."
She claimed it did not bother her apart from occasional "shuffling" noises and later released the spider into her garden.
