A British tourist is fighting for her life after catching Legionnaires' disease while on a dream holiday to Crete.

Donna Jobling, 57, from west Hull, is currently in intensive care at Venizeleio Hospital in Heraklion after falling ill just days into the trip.

She had jetted out on the £1,500 all-inclusive holiday with her husband Sidney and their friends, Paula and Nicolas Mason, of Glasgow Street, Hull, but reported feeling unwell after contracting a chest infection on June 5.

Mrs Jobling, who suffers from 'complex' medical conditions including epilepsy, quickly became seriously ill and was taken to hospital on June 11 where doctors have put her in an induced coma.

Tests confirmed she had contracted Legionnaires' disease brought on by Legionella pneumophila, which triggered acute respiratory failure and pneumonia.
