The family’s teenage daughter called her dad in fear after finding the creature while taking a shower. Stopping the horrifying ordeal, the dad placed a bowl over the top of the spider – preventing it from causing any more chaos in the house.

The creature was so big, some compared it to the “size of a rat”.

The horrified daughter’s dad posted images of the monster on the Spotted Coventry City Facebook page.

“I assume it’s a giant house spider, correct me if I’m wrong.

“Daughter is still recovering.”

All across the UK, it is said there are 650 species of spider, in all shapes and sizes.

The largest in the UK is called the Cardinal spider.
