Five million wet wipes cleared from disgusting 'island' in Thames — as false teeth and trousers also found

Congealed rubbish including around five million wet wipes has been cleared from the banks of the River Thames as the clean up of the so-called “wet wipe island” reaches completion.

Last month, diggers began dredging up muddy waste that had settled along a 250-metre stretch of the foreshore near Hammersmith Bridge in west London.
