A family say they are sick of living in Bushtucker Trial conditions after issuing a desperate plea to their council.
Grace Stewart and daughter Sharon Carroll claim their home been infested by ants, bees and flies - and it's like something millions of us watch every night on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
The women, from Shotts in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, has been living in the property for almost 30 years.
But problems have began to arise in August shortly after the death of Grace’s husband Matthew, they told the DailyRecord.
The women says they know how Matt Hancock and co feel after coming face-to-face with the creatures every day.
Sharon likened entering the room to doing a challenge on the hit ITV show and wants something done about it.
Mum Grace said: “In my bedroom I’m getting ants, bees, flies and creepy crawlies through the window, which is closed.
"My daughter had to put a sheet up and a curtain but they are still getting in.
“We can’t use the room now, it’s been closed off. Roughcast has fallen off your house. The Environmental Health team have said I need a new window but it’s getting really bad.
“I can’t go in there. I’m 70 and in bad health but I’ve been sleeping in a chair because I can’t go into the room.
“It’s really bad. We have used two tins of fly-killer this morning.
“I’m supposed to be getting the house roughcasted and put a new window in but nothing seems to be getting done.”
Daughter Sharon said they have both been attacked by bees and have done everything they can to fix the issue themselves.
“We’ve got containers on the window ledge full of vinegar and lemon but nothing seems to work," she added.
“Both of us have been stung when we’ve went in there. It’s like I’m A Celebrity at times.
“The inspector has been out and has said he will do his best for us but it seems like half a job has been done. We need it sorted quickly.”
A North Lanarkshire Council spokesman insisted the local authority was helping the family.
“Our pest control contractor attended the property twice in August following reports of bees in the house but there was no activity found,” they said.
“They visited again on October 25 and bait was laid for ants.
