A woman who insists she is the American singer Barry Manilow has been found near Lincoln after leaving a hospital clinic.

The 59-year-old woman, believed to be called Tanya Betts, left the Peter Hodkinson Centre at Lincoln County Hospital on Wednesday afternoon.

She had been placed in care after she was discovered in Middle Rasen church in Lincolnshire in December carrying nothing but a plastic bag full of Barry Manilow records.

Lincolnshire Police say she was found on Friday morning at a property on the B1202 between Barney and Wragby after calling at a home asking for some food.

No relatives of the woman have been traced although staff at Lincoln County Hospital are continuing to investigate.

Police believe the woman may have some connections with Gloucestershire and officers there have been alerted to her disappearance.
