A fuming homeowner is fighting a council after it ordered her to remove her a four-foot-high gorilla statue mounted to the front of her house.
'Gorilla-mad' Adele Teale, 58, erected the 4kg resin figure outside her two bedroom terraced home last year - and it instantly became a popular feature with locals.
But now the mother-of-one has been told that her 'beloved' gorilla - which she calls Caesar - must be removed by Wakefield Council because he is 'out-of-character with the surrounding area'.
Adele said: 'I just don't understand what the issue is.
'He is nothing more than a garden ornament.
