A homeless mum was left horrified after she discovered a "bed bug" inside a hotel room where she was told to stay with her two young children.
Sarah Tallentyre, 39, and her daughters Jasmine, 10, and Freya, nine, were asked to leave the rented property they were living in in Wallsend, as the private landlord wanted the premises back.
The trio moved out on May 5 and are currently living in hotels, provided by North Tyneside Council, until they can be given a suitable property to live in.
