Adrian and Joanne Fenton were fined 1,500 after they reported a migrant in their motorhome.

They had been travelling from Calais to Folkestone, Kent , when they found the stowaway.

Mr Fenton said he thought he had done the right thing by calling the police.

Mrs Fenton argued the man had been clinging to the outside of the motorhome rather than inside it.

Border Force has now reduced the fine to 0.5 per cent .
