BBC pundit Rebecca Adlington forced to move hotel rooms at Olympics 2024 after nasty surprise leapt out of bin
REBECCA ADLINGTON was forced to change hotel rooms in Paris after she found a MOUSE in her bin.
The two-time Olympic champion was in Paris with the BBC, helping the broadcaster bring fans coverage of the swimming events.
The 35-year-old has been a fan favourite in France with multiple iconic moments in front of camera already this summer.
But her time away from the studio lights doesn’t seem to be going quite as well.
According to the Mail Online, Adlington was greeted with a nasty surprise when a mouse leapt at her in her hotel apartment.
The four-time Olympic medal winner was reportedly left shrieking as it jumped into her hands and then hid in one of her kitchen cupboards.
Before she then rushed to pack up her bags and leave the room, being helped into another room by hotel staff.
Fans watching on from home have loved Adlington’s pool-side analysis from the aquatics centre.
And the retired swimmer has certainly been throwing herself in at the deep end, showing her emotional side at some of the incredible stories of the summer games.
Adlington was reduced to tears after Team GB hero Adam Peaty secured a silver medal in the men’s 100m breaststroke event.

While she was also getting choked up alongside co-star Clare Balding following Andy Murray’s retirement from tennis.
She also showed off her bright side in a bold outfit as she was labelled “mesmerising” by fans thanks to her colourful fashion choice.
