31 Britons are on board an Italian cruise liner adrift in pirate infested waters near the Seychelles, Sky sources have said.

The Costa Allegra - from the same fleet as the wrecked Costa Concordia - sent out a distress signal after a fire in the engine room cut power and left the vessel drifting out of control.

Costa Cruises say 636 passengers of various nationalities, including 31 British and one Irish passenger, and 413 crew members are on board.
