"We must stay positive and keep fighting" - that's the message from a Scunthorpe steel worker this morning.

Tony Gossling and his wife both work at the TATA Steel plant in the town and have done for the last 28 years.

They still don't if they're among 900 workers who are set to lose their jobs.

It's been three days since the company made the announcement but the news is only just starting to sink in for many people.

Tony has been speaking to our reporter Natalie Bell.

He says he can't bring himself to think about what the future holds for him and his family but is trying to keep opimistic and is hoping to be redeployed in the steel industry.
