A tarot card reader and actor who claims he was "catapulted" from a defective cinema seat in north London is suing Vue Entertainment for £12.7 million.

Marcus Hunefalk-Franzen, 60, alleges that he suffered severe "whiplash" when a chair collapsed beneath him during a visit to Islington's Vue Cinema more than a decade ago.

He claims the incident has left him suffering from chronic neck and back pain, alongside an impaired sense of taste, smell, and hearing.
