It sounds like a story straight out of a Disney movie, but this real life mouse has captured the attention and hearts of people all over the world!

72 year old Stephen Mc Kears first noticed objects moving in his shed a month ago

He first thought he may have had a ghost, so did a little experiment to see what would happen when he deliberately started emptying a tub with nuts, bolts and screws across the shed every evening

He would arrive in the shed to see all the debris had been neatly tidied away

Puzzled, he enlisted the help of his neighbour, who set up a camera to capture what was going on

Looking at the footage, they were bemused to see a house-proud mouse diligently putting bits and pieces away

They were shocked to notice that the mouse had incredible strength  -  and could lift items twice his size -  like the chain of an electric drill and the end of the hose

Stephen told Sean Moncrieff that he calls him “Brexit Mouse” because he thinks he’s stockpiling for when the U.K. leave the E.U.!
