A children's soft play centre in Gloucestershire has apologised and removed its realistic-looking Halloween body bags following concerns from parents.

One mum, who took her daughter to Rugrats and Halfpints in Cirencester, says she did a "double take" when she spotted the decorations.

Pictures show they resemble human bodies covered in black plastic - some wrapped with tape marked "Caution" and "Danger" - hanging upside down from poles.

A spokesperson for the venue said the body bags were being removed immediately, adding: "It wasn't to cause distress and we apologise this is how they have felt."
