Love Island star Kaz Crossley told her friends about the 'terrifying' ordeal of being in jail in Dubai.
The reality star was arrested at Abu Dhabi airport while in transit for a flight to Thailand after being flagged up to United Arab Emirates authorities who are reportedly investigating a video of the Love Island star snorting a white substance in 2020.
After cooperating with officials, she reportedly told her pals about being 'locked up with 30 other women'.
"They didn’t get me a lawyer or a proper translator. I couldn’t even have a shower," she was said to have told her friends.
"I was locked up with 30 other women, and had no idea why I was there for days - nobody would help me. It was the most terrifying experience of my life."
