Britain's oldest quadruplets mum lives in Travelodge after being made homeless

A mum who five-years-ago became Britain's oldest mother of quadruplets is now living with them across two room at a budget hotel. Tracey Britten gave birth to the quads when she was 50 but now five years on is living in a Travelodge while the children's dad sleeps at his mum's house after they were made homeless.

Tracey has to journey 90 minutes each day to pick her three daughters and son up from nursery and with no cooking facilities at the hotel has to use a plug-in slow cooker with milk kept tepid in bath water. They are spread out across two rooms at the hotel, with one for sleeping and another kitted out as a play room for the four kids.

They have been living through this for two months now, The Mirror reports, after they were forced to vacate their four-bed rented house in North London. But, they have been warned they could be at the hotel for up to 10 years.
