A woman accidentally set light to £20,000 cash that was meant for her husband's staff after hiding it in a wood-burning stove and forgetting it was there.

Hao Bin, 35, stashed the wad of money inside the cooker to keep it safe for her husband Wang so he could pay builders.

The next morning Mrs Bin went to make a pot of tea, throwing a lighted match and kindling into the stove with burning paper so she could boil some water.
