TV star breaks down in tears at airport after being detained over faulty passport

A reality TV star has broken down in tears on social media and begged for help after she was detained at an airport over her faulty passport.

A UK reality TV star, Georgia “Toff” Toffolo, has broken down in tears on social media as she told her 1.7 million Instagram followers how she had been detained at an airport in the Maldives over a missing page in her passport.

The I’m a Celeb winner – who shot to fame as a personality on Made in Chelsea – posted a tearful video from Male airport begging for help as she revealed she was “very scared” – but since confirmed she had been released.

“I have been detained at Male airport for a page missing on my passport,” she said on one of her Instagram stories.

“I don’t know what else to do 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.”

The TV star has 1.7 million followers on Instagram.

The star, who is close pals with Boris Johnson’s dad Stanley, was on her way to a luxury beach resort for Christmas when she claims she was stopped.

She later posted an update on her Instagram saying she had been released from the Maldives detention centre where she was being held.

Alongside a smiling selfie, Toff explained two pages had fallen out her passport as she told how she had been left “so so traumatised”.

Toffolo begged fans for help on social media

“I am typing this having just been released from immigration detention! I can’t quite believe it,” she said.

“I was genuinely trying to come to terms with spending the next … however long … in an immigration detention centre.

“Thank you so much to everyone who helped me. If I hadn’t posted online I would 100% still be stuck without my passport!”

‘PLEASE HELP’

Toff, who appeared on Celebrity Hunted this year with the PM’s dad, had earlier Instagrammed the first leg of her journey into Zurich as she showed off a new jumper.

But the second half of her story showed the 2017 Queen of the Jungle breaking down as she complained she couldn’t leave the airport to get to the British Embassy.

Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo has since revealed she has been released and thanked fans for all of their support

British ambassador to the Maldives Caron Rohsler has now replied to her tweet, saying: “Consular assistance is being provided & I am confident you will soon be enjoying all the delights that Maldives has to offer. PM me if you need more info.”

Travellers can be blocked from entering a country if their passport is damaged – including if pages are missing.

Toffolo shot to fame as a star on Made In Chelsea.

Other reasons include a passport not being in a condition to be accepted as a proof of identity.

This could mean there is an ink spillage on a page, water damage, a hole punch, indecipherable personal details or discolouration to the biodata page.
