An artist who paints tiny pictures on discarded chewing gum has pleaded for his works to be saved after being told most of them will be removed from the Millennium Bridge in London as part of engineering work.

Ben Wilson, nicknamed the chewing gum man", has been painting on pieces of chewing gum across the bridge since 2013.
