A couple who died in a house fire have been named as British youth swimmer Tazmin Pugh and her partner Josh Kirk.

Ms Pugh, 18, and 21-year-old Mr Kirk were found dead at a house in Bromyard Road in Cotheridge, near Worcester, at about 20:00 GMT on Sunday.

Ms Pugh represented England and Great Britain at youth level and was a member of Pershore Swimming Club.

The club tweeted of its “enormous shock and sorrow” and British Swimming and Swim England have both paid tribute.
