Jack, the UK Mascot is kidnapped!
Jack, the UK mascot
Jack, the UK mascot [a rubber duck] has been kidnapped during the Nordic pool party.

'I brought him out of the bathroom to take to the Nordic pool party. He was the centre of attention and the press were taking lots of pictures of him in the pool' said the UK on-location producer Simon Proctor, 'some of the entrants weren't happy about that - then we turned our eyes for two minutes and he'd gone!'

Jack in Sweden A duck-hunt is underway to try and find Jack [pictured above in Sweden] - the pool staff have been dredging the pool and the Swedish delegation are helping to locate the duck. Prime suspects are the French and Austrians.
