A teenager who contracted a potentially fatal strain of E-Coli during a First Choice holiday from hell in Turkey has been awarded a bumper six-figure payout.

Bradie Perkins, who lives with his parents in Earl Shilton, Leicester, was 13-years-old when he travelled to a notorious “super-sized” beachfront complex with his family in Sarigerme in October 2010.

But the teen started to feel lethargic and tired during his last few days staying at the Holiday Village Turkey – which has featured on the BBC’s Watchdog programme.

After returning home to Britain, Bradie had to be rushed to hospital twice because of severe diarrhoea, stomach cramps, dehydration and other gastric symptoms.
