A search is under way this morning for a ferry passenger missing from the cross-channel ferry Pride of Kent.

Dover Coastguard was contacted just after 1.30am by the ferry, who reported that a woman passenger was missing - amid fears she had gone overboard.

At that time they were around six miles off Dover.

A massive search was launched, including the Coastguard helicopter from Lee-on-Solent, RNLI lifeboats from Dungeness, Dover and Walmer plus the lifeboat from Calais, along with a tug boat from the Port of Dover, and other ferries passing through the area.

So far, nothing has been found, but the search continues.
