A woman with crippling arachnophobia cured it by hitting the web and watching tarantula videos on YouTube - and now she sleeps in the same room as 35 tarantulas.

Vanessa Woods was "petrified" of spiders for more than three decades before she subjected herself to the unusual type of exposure therapy on the internet.

The videos sparked unexpected fascination with invertebrates and within the space of just nine months Vanessa has accumulated 35 furry friends.

This video was filmed 10th February 2020.
