One of the false widows so if you read the Sun yes you will die. You probably are already dead.

Can't get image to display using phone.

Looks a bit like a Garden Orb, but the colour is off, it's too red, Orb spiders are a 'cold' brown and cream with a clearly defined cream cross.
I'm certain it's not a Steatoda, it's not shiny and the legs are too dark.
Garden Orb spider, Araneus diadematus

Although apparently it didn't have a defined cross on its back. (Mrs Mellie saw it, not me).
