A rat chewed through a couple's kitchen door overnight and snuck into their bedroom as their baby slept.

The large rodent had been living in their house, in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, for a month without being seen until it chewed two large holes in the kitchen door in a single night.

The rat snuck into the couple's bedroom where Chloe, who didn't wish to reveal her last name, was sleeping with two-month-old Ronnie.

In the early hours of the morning on November 29, Chloe heard the rat in the room and fled immediately, locking the door behind her.
