An Airbnb host has sparked outrage after trying to ban fat people from staying at his medieval cottage. Marcus Farkas, 52, and his partner Zsuzanna, 34, imposed a weight limit on guests staying at their Kent cottage following advice from their builder.

Mr Farkas claimed the builder warned people weighing over 100kg would cause "serious damage" to the old beams of the cottage in Sandwich.
