Danielle managed to borrow the spider from a friend and then booked in for a photo shoot to prove she’d cracked her fear. She said: “I just turned up on the day and tried blanking it.
“My mum, the photographer and tarantula owner were almost certain I wouldnt be able to complete it, but the only way I saw it through was to think of the charity I was raising money for.
“They are a lot worse off than I am. When I put my mind to something it has to be a challenge and I am so glad i have done it.
“I even managed to hold it in my hand for a while too.”
