Hilarious moment woman launches dinner onto floor after finding SPIDER on her head

A terrified woman was caught on camera hurling her dinner into the air and leaping off the sofa after realising a spider had been crawling through her hair.

Rosie Moore had settled down in front of the TV in her home in Ripley, Derbyshire, to enjoy a curry after a long day.

But instead of a peaceful evening on March 25, last month, the 24-year-old soon felt something tickling lightly on her scalp.

Little did Rosie know that a massive spider was scuttling around on top of her head as she was blissfully unaware, enjoying her evening.

Rosie can be seen getting comfortable on the sofa, her curry dinner in one hand as she sorts out the blanket across her lap - as the spider races around on her head.

She then began eating, sat next to her dog, before she brushed at her hairline and finally found the arachnid lurking there and reacted as many Brits might.

Rosie brushed at her hair before she leapt up from the sofa and emitted an ear-piercing scream, accidentally flinging her curry all over the rug.

She then raced towards the stairs, all while frantically shaking her hair in a desperate bid to shift the creepy-crawly described as ‘palm-sized’.

The hair salon owner can then be heard breathlessly muttering “oh my god, oh my god” as her baffled Pomeranian Button watched on.

The hilarious clip, captured on a camera used to keep an eye on her two-year-old pooch, went viral on social media and racked up more than 90,000 likes, shares and comments.

Rosie said: "I was petrified. That's one of the worst things that could have happened to me. I'm really scared of spiders.

"I'm not sure how long it was there, I couldn't feel it. It was really big, it was about the size of my palm.

"It must have been on my cardigan because I didn't see it anywhere. I hadn't sat down for a while before that for anything to crawl on to me.

"Because I have a little dog I have a Ring camera indoors, and luckily it managed to catch it on that.

"When I sent the video to friends everyone was crying with laughter because it was so funny."

Unsure where the critter scurried off to, Rosie fears Button may have taken matters into his own hands and scoffed it, as she never saw it again, and was forced to bin her ruined rug.

Rosie said: "I've never found it [the spider], I don't know where it is. The dog might have managed to eat it.

"I ended up throwing the rug in the bin."
