Is there a way to look up live delay information for Eurostars?

I'm currently on a Eurostar that's stationary somewhere in Kent... No announcements, no staff to be seen, but excellent 4G signal strength! And I'd quite like to know how late we're likely to be, some I can let people meeting me know.

Is there a website somewhere I can use to lookup live Eurostar / Eurotunnel delay / timing information?

(I'm aware of going to the Eurostar website then Travel Information then Live Departures & Arrivals, but that claims my train is on time, when the sitting stationary in Kent suggests otherwise.... Perhaps something like the OpenTrainTimes live maps, eg ECML part 2 or RealTimeTrains, both of which generally seem very accurate for train location+delays for UK trains)

You can look on the Twitter feed Eurostar Delays, which is feeding announcements from staff and passengers alike. Here's a snapshot...

The 'generic' Twitter feed for Eurostar has some info, but it refers more to press and media reports rather than real-time info...

And for additional information, the Eurostar's site for Disruption Compensation has details about how to make a claim.
