Hotpoint's safety record was called into question as police confirmed that it was one of its fridges that sparked the Grenfell Tower fire.

A Hotpoint FF175BP model was found to have been the fridge at the centre of the tragedy which has left 79 people dead or missing presumed dead.

Urgent tests are now being carried out on the fridge freezers and anyone who has the same model or the FF175BG model has been urged to contact the manufacturer.

The company, which made 64,000 of the fridge freezers between 2006 and 2009, should recall them immediately if they are found to be faulty, experts said.
