A woman from Macclesfield had a very unusual surprise when she went to her bathroom in the night, finding a badger having a rest.

The lady called up the South Manchester badger group for help with the unusual dilemma.

The South Manchester badger group said:

"We received a call that was out of our area, Macclesfield in fact. A lady was whispering down the phone that she had woken up to a badger in her bathroom, think we asked about 4 times to clarify it was a bathroom"

The group initally thought it might have been an April fools, but that was not the case!

The group phoned around to find a way to help the badger.

Cheshire badger vaccination programme collected her and she was checked over before being allowed to rest overnight in a luxury pen.

The team then worked to find where abouts the badger had come from

On a post on Facebook they say:

"Meanwhile we spent hours surveying an area that we as a group are not familiar with and located where she had come from. The blisters and cuts were so worth it"

The badger has since been released
