A father bitten by a poisonous false widow spider had to be rushed into hospital and almost lost his finger.<br />
<br />
Adam Roberts was holidaying in Skegness, Scotland, when he was bitten by the lethal spider in his sleep.<br />
<br />
When he awoke his finger was so swollen he could not remove his wedding ring.<br />
<br />
The father-of-two tried to ignore the bite and travelled back home to Poole, Dorset, only for the swelling to spread to his elbow.
