A large pig stuck in a deep ditch in West Sussex for two days has been tempted out with Turkish delight.

Firefighters used slings and lines to support Boris as he was rescued in Birdham Road near Chichester on Thursday.

A spokesperson for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said: "He was mostly encouraged out by his favourite snack of Turkish delight".

The "hapless porker" was safely reunited with his owner and returned to his field "ready for a snooze after his adventurous day".
