A huge fire has ripped through a pub co-owned by England cricket star Stuart Broad. Firefighters remain at the scene of the incident at The Tap & Run, also co-owned by former Nottinghamshire seamer Harry Gurney, on Saturday morning (June 11).

The fire, first reported at 3.22am, broke out in the roof and first floor of the gastropub. Three fire engines remain at the scene of the incident in Main Road, Upper Broughton, on the Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire border.

Speaking at the scene, Jonathan Wilson, station manager at Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue, said: "We were mobilised to this building fire and we had eight appliances here and an aerial ladder platform. Swift action by the crews has contained the fire to the building but the building is quite badly damaged.
