Alan Shearer films inferno raging in Portugal where he is on holiday

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer filmed wildfires currently raging in Portugal where he is on holiday. It has reached an exclusive neighbourhood of millionaire holiday homes there belonging to the likes of England manager Gareth Southgate, former Dragon's Den star Duncan Bannatyne, and ex-footballers John Terry, Michael Owen and Scott Parker

Shearer shared a clip this morning of the blaze ripping through an area of forest close to where Southgate's luxury home is, reports the Mirror. He told his followers: "Bloody hell guys, this is unbelievable. I've never seen anything like this, look at it. It's just catching alight."

"This is the roundabout near Gareth Southgate's house. Jesus Christ! Someone needs to get here quick," he adds.
