Love locks will be removed from the Ha'penny bridge in Dublin by lock pickers next week.

The famous bridge has been damaged by the huge amount of locks placed there by loved-up couples.

TOG is a Dublin-based lock picking group who are working with Dublin Council to remove the locks.

Shane Waring from Dublin City Council said this collaboration was key to a much cleaner solution:

The trend has grown in popularity across Europe, from Prague to Paris - but they are regularly removed from bridges in those cities.

Back in June, a section of railing on the the famous Pont des Arts bridge in the French capital collapsed, due to the weight of all the locks attached.
