The floor of a weight watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of people taking part in a weight loss programme.

According to a report in Swedish English-language newspaper, The Local, the dieters were queueing up to see how many pounds they had lost in the past week.

One person reportedly told another newspaper that "there was a huge thud, before the floor collapsed along the walls in one corner of the room."

A Weight Watchers consultant told The Smalandsposten newspaper: "We're going to have to find replacement premises."

The cause of the collapse is still being investigated by local authorities, and none of the people involved were injured.
