A kindly grandmother massaged and stroked a giant fish in her bath after finding it dying in the road.

Deborah Rollings had taken the carp home to her tub in a bid to rescue it after she found it belly-up in the street.

The 60-year-old from Leighton Buzzard sprang into action when husband Keith, 58, called her at 5am to tell her about the ailing creature.

Keith was on his way to work on Thursday when he rang to say: "There's a fish in the street."

Deborah said: "I went out in my dressing gown and I could see his shiny white belly.

"I thought he was a goner, he was in a right old state.

"It's been dropped from a great height on the road so it's been bashed up."

Deborah said that she though maybe a heron or another large bird had dropped the fish from the sky. She dubbed the fish 'Freedom'.

"I ran the bath and put it in - and it's on its side and flipping over so I've spent an hour and a half stroking it and getting its balance and massaging it under its belly," Deborah added.
