A compulsive hoarder faces being made homeless after he was told he will be evicted because of his huge collection.

Brian Clenshaw, from Tunbridge Wells, has a week to find a new place to live after his landlord got a county court ruling for him to leave.

The 52-year-old has filled his flat, in Mount Ephraim, with thousands of newspapers, magazines, DVDs and books - none of which he can bring himself to throw away.

Mr Clenshaw, who believes he suffers from Obsessive Hoarding Syndrome, admitted he had always been a "little hoarder".

But he claims his obsession became uncontrollable when a serious accident dramatically changed his life.
