Woman lives on the world's most remote island - with just one shop and a pub

A mum has told how she moved to live on the world's most remote island - to become of its 138 inhabitants. More than 1,500 miles off the coast of South Africa, it is served by just one shop, one pub, and a school.

Kelly Green, 32, left behind her life Eastbourne, East Sussex, to move to Tristan da Cunha, one of a remote group of volcanic islands in the South Atlantic Ocean,in July 2013.

The whole island descends from just seven families and has a population of just 138 inhabitants. It is only accessible by boat from Cape Town, South Africa, and the journey can take anywhere from a week to 15 days - depending on the weather. After going through a tough breakup, Kelly travelled to the island to visit her parents in 2010 as her dad was a diplomat posted there.
