WE’RE NOT ALL fans of creepy crawlies but this Irish mammy’s arachnophobia is off the charts.

Shane O’Connor, rather than help his terrified mother get rid of a rather large spider which had invaded their home, decided to film her for almost five minutes as she tried to swat the creature with a spatula.

And much as we feel for her, you can’t help but laugh.

It is a battle (mostly with herself) which she ultimately wins but we hope Shane steps in next time before his poor mammy has a heart attack.
