British pop duo 'Everything But The Girl' were forced to call a zoo for help after finding a scorpion in their home.

Guitarist Ben Watt was stunned when he discovered the creature on the floor of his 16-year-old daughter Alfie's bedroom at their house in Highgate, north London.

Ben rang experts at ZSL London Zoo who collected the scorpion which Alfie had named 'Sansa' after her favourite Game of Thrones character.

Alfie managed to trap the bug, which was carefully placed in a plastic box. On Sunday morning Ben wrote:

After a day visiting the zoo, where they handed over the stinging creature to experts.
