This was the 'jawesome' moment a scuba diving grandmother saved a shark which was snagged on fishing lines off England's south coast.

Michelle Walton, 53, was on a diving holiday off the coast at Hallsands, south Devon, with her partner, Peter Love, 52, when they spotted the stranded catshark.

It was stuck on a double hook and thrashing violently so the couple dived down to the seabed to try and free it.

Michelle, a marketing manager from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, used a knife to saw through the fishing lines before the 5ft long shark wriggled free.

This shark rescue was filmed on July 30.
