“I thought it was mould at first, then I saw a little white thing move so I put my torch on my phone and saw it was a spider and her babies.

“The grapes we’re from South Africa so god knows what kind of spider it was.”

She added: “I wasn’t happy when I saw them because me or my son could have eaten them, I’ve just been on the phone to them, they rang to say that they are going to get in contact with the suppliers.”
