Neighbours are locked in a bitter row over a 'noisy and smelly' pet pig which has made the complainant's life 'unbearable'.

Michelle and Carl Repper, of Spalding, Lincolnshire, say they were shocked to receive a nuisance complaint from a neighbour over the noise and odour of their six-year-old pot-bellied pig, Jack.

The couple adopted Jack six years ago after their friends mistook him for a micro pig, and have raised him in their garden ever since.

Michelle, 44, says locals love the pet, which is why she was so shocked when one neighbour allegedly shouted through the fence to say he was 'disgusting'.

Shortly after, the mother-of-three received a letter from South Holland District Council outlining the complaint that had been filed about the animal.
