A boy's had to be rescued by hovercraft from Brean beach - after going to wash his hands in a pool of water.

The Burnham Area Rescue Boat charity say the 11 year old, from Wales, got stuck thigh-deep in mud yesterday.

The coastguard and tw hovercrafts were sent to pull him out - and BARB say it would've been a lot more serious if the tide had been coming in at the time.
