A hoarder filled his half-a-million-pound home with so many newspapers that he could no longer get in it - so was forced to sleep in his car instead. Professional cleaner Joe Cole claimed he's 'never seen anything like it' after he and staff at his clearance company JGD Pro Solutions were tasked to deal with the towering mess.
The 43-year-old and four of his workers spent an hour unblocking the front door at the three-bed detached home near Brighton, East Sussex, as 5,000 newspapers had jammed it shut. Shocking images of their findings show door frames almost completely blocked with piles of the paper waste.
One shows bags of newspapers packed around 6ft high in one of the bedrooms making it impossible to get inside. A toilet door appears to be jammed open by more local and national newspapers that litter the floor while they fill the entire width of the kitchen too.
