A heartbroken teacher has been forced to move out of her flooded home after a leaky bathroom pipe turned it into 'a swamp'.
Devastated Fay Guest has been living in a £500-a-week Airbnb following the nightmare leak, which ruined her two-bedroom house in Bideford, north Devon.
The 33-year-old had forked out £5,000 on a new bath, shower, sink and toilet from Wickes in Barnstaple, north Devon.
But three days after it was fitted, she claims a faulty pipe caused water to come cascading into her house, wrecking ceilings and walls, destroying her kitchen and flooding every room on the ground floor.
So extensive is the damage, it has left her terraced house without electricity and looking like something from a 'horror movie', she added.

'It then flowed into the living room. I'm in a classic terraced house, long and thin, and it managed to get all the way towards the front.
'I went from stunned disbelief to complete panic. Even upstairs that wasn't wet felt damp because it was just so full of water. The whole house absolutely stinks now.'
Fay had the bathroom fitted last month and claims she contacted Wickes on the day of the leak. But the 33-year-old educator has lashed out at the home improvement firm, saying she was 'fobbed off' by them.
