A leading Brexiteer and former diplomat has told of his frantic dash from Switzerland to the UK to escape quarantine.
Andy Wigmore, a spokesman for the Leave.EU campaign and self-confessed bad boy of Brexit , was at the Wengen ski resort when he faced going into mandatory 14-day quarantine amid Swiss attempts to stop the spread of a more infectious strain of coronavirus that emerged in England.
He is among hundreds of Britons who were said to have left Switzerland hours after the country imposed quarantine.
Staff at another luxury resort in Verbier said at the weekend many British guests left “under the cover of darkness” to avoid being stuck inside their rooms for two weeks.

More than 200 British skiers fled a coronavirus quarantine in the popular Swiss resort of Verbier on Saturday night, reports say.
A spokesman in Valais canton said 420 British guests had booked into Verbier accommodation before Christmas and now only about a dozen were left.
Switzerland imposed a 10-day quarantine backdated to 14 December because of the new virus strain spreading in the UK.
The country also stopped flights from the UK and South Africa on 20 December.
Some Swiss hoteliers only discovered the guests had vanished when room service trays were left untouched outside doors, Swiss media reported. Others were called by British tourists demanding their money back once they had safely crossed into France, the BBC s Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva.
