Passengers who had travelled on an Egyptian tourist boat which left three Brits missing when it caught fire have claimed it had 'reoccurring issues'.

People who had boarded the Hurricane, a Red Sea-based boat in Egypt, said they were 'not surprised' it had gone up in flames just a week after they left.

One diving enthusiast who stayed on the vessel in May told MailOnline it was plagued with problems and there were 'issues below decks'.

It comes after the boat became a floating inferno on Sunday morning, June 11, with shocking footage showing its stern being ravaged with flames as black smoke erupted from the ship.

Video showed terrified tourists jumping from the ship, which had 29 people on board at the time, into the water to escape after a suspected electrical fault in the engine room caused it go up in flames.
