Gross: girl finds live worm in Easter egg

This is after their 10-year-old daughter found a live worm in an Easter treat; an Easter cookie which is shaped like an egg.

Lucy Hunt told reporters she has now been put off Easter eggs after witnessing the live worm in her treat.

"I was about to eat it and I'd picked up the egg, ready to take a big bite. I glanced around the egg as I put it to my mouth, and there was this worm starring right at me. It made me want to heave. I ran off to the toilet thinking I was going to be sick. It was disgusting. It's definitely put me off Easter eggs , I didn't want to eat any of them after that," she told reporters.

Her father, Craig, added that this experience has ruined the magic of Easter for her family.

"I know the Easter experience is about the religious side, but the kids still think it's about chocolate and bunnies," he added.
