A couple seen at the edge of crumbling Sussex cliff just days after a major danger warning have said they were '˜not aware' of the risks.

The couple made national headlines this week after local photographer Wayne Spring caught photos of the couple standing near the edge of Seaford Head.

Following the coverage 34-year-old Dutch tourist Marcus, who posed for photos with his friend from Brighton, said he wants to warn other hikers to avoid the cliff edge.

He said, “During our hike we met one woman who said, ‘Hi guys do you know its dangerous out there?’

“We smiled and said, ‘yeah we know we will be fine’, not knowing how dangerous it actually was.

“Later up there we enjoyed the view and decided to make some pictures at the cliff.

Not knowing the risks he had taken, Marcus posted his photos on his instagram account – Amsterdamstreetwise – and returned home.
