A UK couple on holiday in Portugal had their young children temporarily taken into protective custody after they collapsed drunk, officials have said. Staff at the Aparthotel Mourabel, in Vilamoura on the Algarve called police after they passed out on Friday night.
The children aged one, two and six were taken to a children's home in Faro while their parents were treated at a health centre in Loule.
The couple did not comment, but the home's director called it "shocking".
Dr Luis Villas-Boas said: "It is the first time it has happened in my 22 years working at this home.
Portugal’s reputation was really hurt from Madeleine McCann’s case which apparently I still feel that the parents had their part and I’m not convinced for their innocence but this case came to prove that all British tourists are not angels …on the contrary!
