An asylum seeker who chronicled his journey from France to England in videos on TikTok is now living in an ‘ultra chic’ and ‘sophisticated’ hotel at Heathrow, MailOnline can reveal.
The migrant named on the social media platform as Rahat Popal posted film clips showing him taking a train through France and sailing across the Channel in an overcrowded dinghy.
Later videos on TikTok showed him being picked up by a UK lifeboat crew before being taken ashore in Dover, and finally relaxing on a bed in a hotel funded by British taxpayers.
The luxury hotel which is now home to Popal and at least one of his friends is not identified in the video clip.
