A British grandmother left stranded in a Turkish hospital after her brain tumour deteriorated has been warned that complete paralysis is the 'best case scenario'.

Gill Taylor-Scarth had been on a 'big family holiday' in the resort town of Fethiye, Turkey, before falling ill on August 23.

The 56-year-old, from Formby, Merseyside, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in January, just weeks after the tragic death of her husband Kevin.

Despite her diagnosis, Gill was given the green light to go on a two-week holiday to Hirasonu in Turkey in June, which her deceased husband had booked for the family before his death.

Gill's daughter Sophie Taylor told the Liverpool Echo that her mum had been fine while she was away in June, but had a 'bad turn' when she returned home.
