A 65-YEAR-OLD man who was stranded in a Spanish hospital for three weeks has finally returned home.

Anthony Rigby, of Smallthorne, flew home after spending 25 days stuck in Spain.

He has now been admitted to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire for treatment on his back.

He was enjoying a holiday with his daughter and grandson but was unable to fly back home on Friday January 25..

Mr Rigby is now waiting to receive a bill for his medical treatment in Spain, which he believes to be in the region of £13,000.

He said: "I came home and I was okay for a few days but I have had to go back into hospital again because I have a problem with my back.

"I don't mind, I am just glad I am not over there."

Mr Rigby, whose insurance company will not fund the bill, added: "I don't know how much it will cost me now, I am just glad to be home."
