- EXCLUSIVE Chief Reporter

A THIRD flight to the UK from China was expected today.

Around 150 Britons were being flown from Wuhan.

They will then be taken to a conference centre in Milton Keynes.

The group will stay there for the next 14 days.

UK citizens on two earlier repatriati­on flight are at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral.

There are around 100 people being held in quarantine at the site.

PANGOLIN anteaters are the possible hosts of coronaviru­s, Chinese scientists have now claimed.

ENGLAND footballer Dele Alli has been accused of filming a “racist” video mocking an Asian man and making jokes about the deadly coronaviru­s.

The £100,000-a-week Spurs star, 23, sent the offensive clip to a group of friends on his Snapchat account.

It was shot on Thursday in a lounge at Heathrow as he waited with pals to board a flight to Dubai.

Last night the striker offered his “sincerest apologies” and said it was “never my intention” to offend anyone.

In the video, seen by the Daily Star Sunday, Dele films himself wearing a face mask.

A caption he posted on the video says: “Corona whatttttt, please listen with volume.” A group of what are thought to be Chinese accents can be heard in the background as he moves his eyes from side to side.

Dele turns the camera around and starts to film a man of Asian appearance waiting in the lounge. He then zooms in on the man, who is on his phone and does not realise he is being filmed.

Dele then pans to a bottle of antiseptic handwash which is on the table in front of him. He captioned it: “This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me.”

The video sparked outrage. A source said: “It is wholly inappropri­ate to be filming this man and making jokes about the coronaviru­s. People are dying
