Staff at a betting shop are being hailed as heroes after saving the life of a punter who'd failed to turn up to place his twice daily £1 bet.

72 year old Michael Base had collapsed at home and fallen into a diabetic coma.

But staff at his local bookies at Diss in Norfolk were so worried when he didn't appear for a fourth day that they called police.

He sang Bonnie Tyler's Hero to thank them.
