A British man whose kayak capsized while crossing the English Channel has been rescued after he was left stranded for days.

The unnamed paddler, 28, had been left in the open water wearing nothing but a pair of swimming trunks.

He clung to the side of a buoy for two entire days and ate crabs, mussels and seaweed to survive.

His kayak capsized while attempting to cross the Channel’s busy shipping lane, reports say.
