A search is under way for a passenger who is reported to have fallen overboard from a cruise ship off the Isle of Wight.
The man is believed to have fallen from Ventura at about 04:30 BST as it was returning into dock in Southampton from the Mediterranean.

Apparently a number of passengers complained about the vessels late arrival, questioning why their ship had to be involved.
Says much about the human spirit.
