Man who lost his parents and his job in a matter of months now lives in a PHONE BOX

A former demolition worker who lost this job shortly before his parents both died has been forced to live in a PHONE BOX - because he refuses to accept state handouts.

Stephen Pope, 42, crams himself into the 3ft-wide BT kiosk every night, using only a filthy sleeping bag and a ripped duvet for warmth.

Shocking images show the makeshift bedroom, which is full of old rags and bits of cardboard box which Stephen uses as insulation.
