Diphtheria is a "really horrid disease" which has not been seen in the UK for around 80 years, according to a GP.

Speaking to Sky News, Dr David Lloyd explained what the malady looked like.

It comes after numerous people arriving on small boats across the Channel were found to have Diphtheria and have now been dispersed across the country to hotels.
