A British couple detained in Iran have spoken to their family for the first time in seven months.

Lindsay and Craig Foreman, from East Sussex, were detained in January while on a motorcycle tour around the world and were later charged with espionage.

The pair deny the allegations.

Speaking to Sky News, the couple's son said the eight-minute phone call gave him a "massive, overwhelming feeling of relief".

Joe Bennett said: "They seemed to be pretty good mentally. And they say that they're being looked after as well as possible and making the best of the conditions.

"We laughed, we cried. You know, we talked about how things were happening and how they got to where they are."
