A British tourist claims to have been banned from the USA for 10 years after admitting snorting a line of cocaine two years ago.

Isabella Brazier-Jones, 28, flew from London to Los Angeles with her friend Olivia Cura, 26, where they planned to embark on the trip of their dreams.

But when quizzed by immigration officials about the length of their stay, they found a text message on her phone that referred to cocaine.

They asked her whether she had ever taken the Class A drug and she confessed to having a line in 2017.

She was immediately thrown in a jail cell and made to wait for 24 hours before being shipped back to Britain, the aspiring actress says.

The RADA graduate, of Wimbledon, south London, told The Sun: 'I was held in a cell with four other women. The TV played constant R&B music videos. It was torture.

'They took against me because I was a posh, white, blonde girl. I was terrified.'

Ms Brazier-Jones, who quit her job and rented out her home to go travelling, claims she had her phone and luggage seized and was body searched before she was kept behind bars.

She was then escorted onto a plane where she was joined by her friend, she told the newspaper.

The pair had spent £3,500 on accommodation, flights and car rental.

US officials are renowned for their strict immigration policies, which have been vamped up further after Donald Trump became president.

American border officials have not yet commented on Ms Brazier-Jones's case. MailOnline has contacted the Foreign Office for comment.
