Suspected illegal immigrant found hiding among frozen chickens in KFC freezer

    A SUSPECTED illegal immigrant shut himself in a KFC freezer in a desperate bid to avoid being deported.

    Officials discovered the Pakistani employee shivering in -20°C temperatures among hundreds of frozen chickens.

    Home Office agents had swooped on the fast-food shop following a tip-off.

    A source told The Sun: “As officers entered the premises a staff member hid in a walk-in freezer.

    “There was only one place he could have gone — it didn’t take them long to find him.

    “He did not suffer any lasting health problems, other than maybe catching a cold.”

    The worker, 23, currently has an application for leave to remain in the country being considered by the Home Office.

    If he is found to have no right to stay he will be booted out — but it is understood he will be allowed to stay as he is married to a UK citizen.

    A KFC spokeswoman said: “We have strict hiring practices and carry out stringent checks for all new starters, and never knowingly employ anybody who doesn’t have the right to work in the UK.
