A Kent travel agent has said he's 'shocked' by the government's decision to take Portugal off the UK's travel green list.

Hear from Chris Scoble from Go Scoble in Tunbridge Wells.

It means anyone who can't get back from the country before next Tuesday, June 8, will have to isolate for 10 days. Those still travelling there after that date will also have to quarantine when they get home.

Lauren Hampshire lives near Maidstone and has just returned from a week in Portugal, she tells the podcast what it was like.
