Though the thing looked TERRIFYING up-close on the doctor's camera, once he took him out ( using a micro Hoover ) it was pretty small, and now its in this little test tube, alive and seemingly fine.A photo posted by Katie Melua (@katiemeluaofficial) on Oct 10, 2014 at 2:14pm PDT Subscribe | UPI Odd Newsletter Subscribe LONDON, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- British pop star Katie Melua said she saw a doctor about a recurring scratching noise and discovered a small spider had been living in her ear for a week. The 30-year-old "Spider's Web" singer said she went to the doctor to investigate the cause of a scratching noise she had been hearing for a week and the doctor removed a tiny spider from her ear.

"Katie kept it in the test tube and released it in her garden when she got home. Apart from shuffling and random noises in her ear, the spider was no bother for the entire week it lived there. She was relieved it was what it was as she was worried she was losing her hearing." Basically I used these old in-ear monitors to block out sound on a flight, little spider must have been in them and crawled inside my ear and stayed there for the week. It was no hassle at all, apart from the occasional shuffling noises...
