A British air hostess has been released from jail in Dubai after spending two months behind bars living off of bread and water.

Derrin Crawford, 23, who works for Emirates and is based in the UAE, had been out for dinner with a man and agreed to go back to his apartment when it was raided by officers who found two cannabis joints at the scene.

Ms Crawford, who is from Liverpool, was thrown into the infamous Al-Barsha jail on June 21.

Yesterday, MP for Riverside Kim Johnson said she had spoken to Derrin’s family following her release and confirmed she had been released from prison.
