A NOROVIRUS outbreak has allegedly brought a popular British holiday resort to a standstill, The Sun can reveal.
Holidaymakers at Butlin's Skegness have reported multiple facility closures as the site struggles to contain the nasty bug.

She claims that staff are trying to brush the situation under the carpet.
Paige told The Sun said: "They're not being upfront about this at all.
"We asked one of the staff members if there was an outbreak and one of the ladies said 'of course not' but nodded at the same time.
"There was a case in the on-site supermarket, which had to close due to someone being sick and they had to close the fun fair early.
"Staff are now wearing gloves and masks which they weren't wearing beforehand and sanitiser stations have appeared out of nowhere."
The mum-of-one has left the resort early out of fear for her son's safety.

"My son has a chromosome disorder, autism and epilepsy," Paige said.

Paige was also at the resort with her nan, who would have been adversely affected by the bug due to her medical issues.
She added: "We're leaving tomorrow. Everything has been shut down and it's no surprise it's spread.
"The apartment we were given was in an absolutely disgusting state."
Butlin's confirmed the resort is open for guests as normal and has not been closed.
A spokesperson said: "We have a small number of sickness incidents reported on resort.
"In line with our strict hygiene and cleaning standards we have introduced a number of enhanced service measures to keep our guests and team healthy and ensure everyone can enjoy their holiday."
