Euro 2016 pundit Dean Saunders faces £1,000 parking bill

Dean Saunders is facing a hefty car parking bill when he returns from Euro 2016.
Saunders, who is working in France as a TV pundit, left his car in a short-stay car park at Birmingham Airport a fortnight ago assuming Wales would not make it to the latter stages of the tournament.
However, Chris Coleman's side have now reached the quarter-finals and the former Wales striker's parking bill is growing by £100 pound each day.
The 52-year-old, who won 75 caps for his country, revealed to the BBC on Monday: "I tell you how confident I was with Wales. I parked in the short-stay car park at Birmingham Airport two weeks ago.
"I took a little suitcase that fitted onto the plane so I've run out of clothes and now I'm going to have a £1,000 bill when I get back to Birmingham because they charge you a fortune.
"But I'm just happy to be here."
A crowdfunding page to pay the bill has been set up, but on Thursday morning only £29 of the £1,200 target had been reached.
The campaign has pledged to donate the money to charity if Saunders ends up paying the bill himself.
