A couple have shared shocking footage from inside their quarantine hotel room, where they have to wash clothes in the bath.
Elaine and Wagner Araujo say they are 'going crazy' in their 'prison' room at the Radisson Blu Edwardian hotel near Heathrow Airport.
They have been forced to stay in the hotel after returning from their home country of Brazil, which they flew to on January 11 to visit a sick relative.
The couple, who have lived in the UK for more than 20 years, now have to pay £3,500 for their 10-day coronavirus quarantine in the accommodation.
Removal man Mr Araujo, 43, shared a video of his room and showed how they are cleaning their clothes in the bathtub.
He told Sky News: "We need to do the laundry over there (in the bath) because they charge us to do it and they only wash essential clothes and only seven items per week. We are going to use more than this in a week."
The couple are drying their laundry on the radiator in the bathroom.
Describing their room, he added: "We are here for four hours and we are crazy already. If you see the room, it's like a prison with a good bed.
"You've got to play cards, read books and sleep for 10 days, that's it."
Mrs Araujo, 40, added that they planned to return to the UK before quarantine rules came into force.
However, their flight back from Brazil, which is on the UK's 'red list', was cancelled - and when they changed airline their departure date kept changing.
They eventually arrived back in Britain yesterday, Mail Online reports.
The couple, who have four children in the UK, now face an eye-watering bill for their enforced hotel stay.
They are not working and are unsure how they will pay the £3,500 accommodation costs.
The couple claim they cannot leave their room - even for exercise - and they are now desperate to see their children.
Mr Araujo told Mail Online: "The hotel officials told us that we would only be allowed to leave for a medical emergency.
"There is also no housekeeping service. We have to clean our rooms ourselves and make our own beds.
"Being confined to this room is not going to be easy but I'm sure we'll manage. It's a lovely hotel but it feels like an upmarket prison."
