A mum who moved to Britain when she was a baby is facing deportation more than 40 years later, because she never applied for a passport.

Joanne Power, 43, was born in Sasolburg, South Africa to British parents, and moved to England when she was just 18 months old.

She has since married and had two children, Ellie, 17, and Lewis, 16.

But the supermarket cashier said she was sent home by her employer last month because she did not have a passport - and could not prove she has a right to work in the UK.
