Gold medal gymnast Tulloch had nut allergy scare before Munich finals

A British gymnast who won a team gold medal in the European Championships almost did not compete after suffering an allergic reaction the night before.

Courtney Tulloch, who trains in Basildon, Essex, struggled to breathe and his face swelled up after eating noodles thought to contain nuts.

The gold and bronze medallist said he was not aware of any allergy to nuts before the meal.

His team mate Joe Fraser noticed him struggling and called the team doctor.

Tulloch, who lives in Essex, said he suffered the reaction the night before the team final event in Munich.
