Turkey tycoon Bernard Matthews has died at the age of 80, his firm said.

The man questioned by Portuguese police about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann would rather “help than hinder”, one of his friends said today.

Hundreds of workers at the Bernard Matthews factory in Norfolk face being laid off in the wake of the bird flu outbreak, it was revealed today.

CONSUMERS were last night told they could keep on eating chicken and turkey as normal.
