Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli is FREAKING OUT over the UK invasion of GIANT SPIDERS! Mario is terrified to go to the toilet at night in case he stumbles over one of the monsters.
A Liverpool FC source revealed to the Daily Star: "They are so big they make him jump when he sees one.
"He says he finds them at his home and freaks out every time.
"Mario is a big tough guy and he is not usually scared of spiders but he's scared to go to the bathroom at night now in case he switches on the light and sees a big hairy one staring back at him.''
