A pregnant mother has been forced to bring up her four children in a cramped, mould-covered home plagued by rodents.
Kellie Sullivan says her two-bedroom house, in Oldham, Greater Manchester, barely has enough space for her family to sleep - and is covered in mould caused by severe damp.
Ms Sullivan - who is pregnant with her fifth child - has received an apology from property manager First Choice Homes, who vowed to help her find somewhere else to live.
But the firm said the pandemic has made it difficult to find alternative accommodation for Ms Sullivan, her partner Tommy Sanders and their children Carter, five, Taylor, three, Jordan, two, and Madison ten months.

New affordable housing estate plans for Oldham revealed Reporter: Charlotte Green, Local Democracy Reporter Date published: 16 February 2021
Building on the site could start in March 2022.
Plans for a ‘modern’ new affordable housing development on the site of two of Oldham’s run-down tower blocks have been revealed.
Housing association First Choice Homes Oldham has applied to the council to build 88 homes on land at the ‘gateway’ to the town, off Vale Drive.
The new estate, which would be a mix of apartments and houses, would take the place of 1960s tower blocks Crossbank House and Summervale House.
Residents of more than 240 properties of the 15-storey two blocks were moved out by the end of April last year, and they have since been standing empty.
