Four British tourists have been injured following an explosion at a hotel on the Costa del Sol, in which hundreds of UK holidaymakers were staying.

The Foreign Office confirmed that a water pipe had exploded, leaving one person seriously injured. Three others are being treated for minor injuries.

Carol Gardener, 53, had been walking past the three-star Hotel Globales Cortijo Blanco in Marbella, southern Spain, when she was injured by the blast, staff members said.

She was taken to the nearby Costa del Sol Hospital, but was later transferred to a hospital in Malaga.

A hospital spokeswoman said: "The woman was admitted to hospital in a very serious condition and was put on artificial ventilation. She is suffering from burns and is badly injured."
