THE KFC on Evesham at Twyford Services is on fire.

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service is currently in attendance at the scene.

Kate Morrison, staff member at The Premier Inn, said that the hotel had to be evacuated as a safety precaution.

She said: "After checking a guest into the hotel where I work, he said KFC was in flames.

"I was so shocked to see flames coming out the roof and my instinct was to get my colleague Sophie to call the fire brigade to check that they were on their way.

"We then proceeded to evacuate the hotel as instructed by the fire chief."

A Twitter video was also shared capturing the incident.

A spokesperson for Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said: " We can confirm the KFC in Evesham is on fire.

"We have six appliances at the scene, an incident command unit and three officers.
