Couple stranded in Turkey with £10,000 bill after baby comes early

A newly-wed couple whose baby was born prematurely on honeymoon said insurers won't cover the cost of bringing him home - as the baby arrived two days too late to be covered by their policy.

Stephen, 27, and Louise Crawshaw-Bowen, 37, said they face staggering hospital bills to care for son Wolfe. Louise had to have an emergency caesarean section on July 25 - and their son is now in intensive care in Turkey to help him breathe.
