‘I have been here for hours. I am not allowed to board a flight home because of my damaged passport but I am also not allowed to leave the airport. Please help!’
She followed this up with: ‘I have tried so hard to get hold of any British representative here. I am so upset. Thank god I’ve got my phone. They’ve taken away my passport… because a page had fallen out!’
At the time of tweeting, Toff had been at the airport for over four hours. She also took to her Instagram stories to document the situation, visibly tearful.
After sharing a video being driven to the airport, the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner recorded an Instagram story in which she explained: ‘Basically my passport was damaged and I am now being effectively deported back to London so any tips on how to get an emergency passport? Because I am not spending Christmas on my own.’
