All passengers and crew were "safely evacuated" from the plane following the incident at about 09:00 BST.

In a statement, BA said: "The BA762, Heathrow to Oslo service, returned back to Heathrow shortly after take-off due to a technical fault."

It said the plane was carrying 75 customers who were safely evacuated.

It added a "full investigation" into the incident involving an Airbus A319 would be conducted.
