Mum finds 'baby seal' in her Sunday dinner

A mum had to do a "double take" when she spotted a seal pup in her potato peelings whilst prepping lunch. Corinne Dolman, 40, was peeling spuds for her family's dinner on Easter Sunday when she spotted the uncanny resemblance.

Corinne, a home bakery business owner, said: "It was Easter Sunday I was up early prepping for Easter lunch before the kids got up - as I was still half asleep I did do a double take as I noticed it on the pile.

"I actually took the photo to show my husband as it made me laugh how much it looked like a seal and I do like a bit of nonsense. The potatoes were from Tesco in Bedworth and were destined to be roasties.

"It would have been more apt for Jesus to appear in my Easter spuds."

The mum then shared the photo on Facebook to "raise a smile or two". The post has racked up a huge 97,000 reactions and over 2,000 comments.

One person commented: "I was scrolling and it stopped me in my tracks. I had to zoom in... wow!"

Another suggested Corrine "preserve" the peeling as it was "so cute".
