He was probably looking for the cheese

A grandmother was given a festive fright when a dead mouse fell out of her Christmas cracker.

Bett Lawrence had just finished dinner with 20 relatives and had begun opening the cracker with her niece.

She told a newspaper: "I had said to my granddaughter 'what's the smell' and we couldn't work it out until we pulled the cracker."

Lawrence said that her niece had pulled out the dead mouse thinking it was a soft toy.
