MILLIONS of households gearing up to cook a turkey this Christmas have been issued a warning.

Coating your poultry or other festive meat in fats and oils will keep it moist and tasty.

But you could cause some serious damage by getting rid of any excess liquid in the wrong way.

Now one water company is urging households to dispose of their grease and oil correctly.

Yorkshire Water has warned fats, oils and greases poured down the kitchen sink can block pipes, causing sewage to spill out and even create fatbergs.

The company, which serves nearly two million households, has urged people to let hot fats and oils cool until they are solid and then put them in the bin instead.

Miles Cameron, regional manager, said: "You do tend to see an accumulation of fats more at Christmas time, cooking on a larger scale with families around."

Ryan McPherson, a Yorkshire Water worker, added his team found fat, oils and grease in their network "quite a lot" around the Christmas period.
