WTF is this dead thing?

A particularly leggy Slow Worm?
Edit. Just Googled 'Slow Worm'. They have no legs at all (I thought they were similar to Skinks!)
Could be an escaped Skink? Weather's just turned cold enough to kill them, I'd assume.
Regardless, I've cancelled my Channel 5 nature documentaries as really I haven't a fking clue. You're safe for now, Attenborough.

A newt? Sorry, first thing that came into my head.
I thought it was some exotic thing.
Added: By looking at some online photos it does seem to match. It also had a red/orange black spotted belly.
Are they quite common then or has it escaped from somewhere?
