First girl migrant from Calais Jungle camp arrives in UK amid furore over adult-looking ‘child’ refugees

THE first girl among the wave of more than 50 so-called child migrants was seen arriving here yesterday.

She was pictured with green-varnished fingernails pointing from her fur-rimmed pink coat, her face hidden beneath a blanket.

Since Monday, 53 have been let in but some have looked suspiciously old. Many covered up as they arrived in London yesterday.

And reports last night claimed up to 50 more might arrive on coaches from Calais today.

All travel to the immigration centre in Croydon where officials process and interview them.

A total of 180 unaccompanied kids in the Calais Jungle camp are believed to have family ties in the UK, meaning they can move here under EU asylum law.
