A week has passed since Kumbuka the silverback gorilla sent London Zoo into lockdown after he escaped from his enclosure. However, before he was returned to his den he drank five litres of undiluted blackcurrant squash. But what would that much cordial do to the body?

Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and Clinical Consultant at Patient.info, told 5 live Drive 鈥淚f you drink that much sugar then water is going to be absorbed into the gut, which means he鈥檚 going to feel very thirsty.鈥�

鈥淗is blood sugar might also have gone up very fast, but then dropped very quickly. He may have felt very confused and irritated.鈥�
