His mother Dina Luminati-West told The Mirror: "Alexander shouted down saying there was a fox in his bed, but I didn't believe him.

"I thought it must be our cat asleep on his bed, but then I saw the long pointed nose and realised it was indeed a fox."

Luminati-West called the RSPCA who returned the fox back into the wild.

She added: "Alexander loves animals, but a bedroom's not the best place for a fox. We'll be keeping our door firmly shut from now on."

The fox was tired! Had a nap!
