Archie from Scotland said he was "quite angry" with the EU for demanding the UK pay a large sum of money in exchange for Brexit.

He told BBC News: "I voted for Brexit and I didn't expect there to be a massive divorce bill.

"And it makes me feel quite angry that the European Union are trying to force this quite unreasonable sum on the British taxpayer and the British voter."

The United Kingdom is expected to pay its share for EU programmes and project the British Government signed up to ahead of the 2016 EU referendum.

Rumour suggest Prime Minister Theresa May is preparing to cave in to Brussels' demands and double her original £20bn offer, handing over around £50bn to settle the UK's financial obligations.

But a shock new survey reveals Britons are now considering a second EU referendum on the terms of the Brexit agreement because of the possible Brexit bill.

The Survation poll showed many people thought the huge bill was a "punishment" for voting to Leave.

When asked why the EU was demanding a large sum of money from the UK, the most popular response was because "the EU wants to punish us", with Mrs May's weakness coming in second.

It comes as Mrs May faces backlash for a proposed deal with Brussels that would effectively keep Northern Ireland inside the EU single market and customs union after Brexit becomes official in March 2019.

The plan was shut down by Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster who said that her party would not accept "any form of regulatory divergence" between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom.

But Brexit Secretary David Davis "emphatically" insisted that the Government would not treat "any part of the United Kingdom any differently from any other part."

The Tory politician insisted the PM was "now close to concluding the first phase and moving on to talking about trade" with the EU, telling the chamber: "All parties remain confident of a positive conclusion by the end of the week"
