A woman has spoken of her shock after finding an Egyptian gecko hidden in a punnet of strawberries she'd bought from Lidl.
Nikata Moran couldn't believe her eyes when she discovered the tiny creature, which measured just 2.5cm long, as she was getting the fruit out of her fridge.
The gecko had miraculously survived a 3,000 mile journey from Egypt to Nikata's home in Fallowfield, Manchester, by stowing away in the punnet.
