Ecstatic Hampshire nurse Corazon Caro has been told she can stay in Britain.

Home Office officials have made a dramatic U-turn to allow the 29-year-old to stay after weeks of pressure from her colleagues, union members and MPs.

The Daily Echo has highlighted the plight of Corazon since she accidentally forgot to renew her work visa and was told she must return to her home in the Philippines.

Her story has captured the hearts of scores of readers who have pledged their support - and one even offered to marry her to keep her in the United Kingdom.
