Leroy Horton recently received an unexpected and wholly unwelcome visit from a huge spider at his home in Bondi in Sydney, Australia.

The brave man decided to play an impromptu game of ‘chicken’ with his new creature foe, explaining to Storyful that, in situations like these, “It’s a game of chance and they (spiders) rarely attack you. So, I often like to see who has bigger balls”.

There was a clear winner in this short-lived battle of nerves. Credit: Leroy Horton via Storyful
