Spanish jail without food or water for more than 24 hours after she lost her passport on a British Airways flight. Sharon Dempsey, 65, had jetted off on a two-week holiday to Benidorm to celebrate her brother surviving a quadruple bypass last year.

But the holidaymaker, from Glasgow, Scotland, ended up in a cell after she realised that her passport was missing when she arrived in Alicante on Saturday morning (May 7).The great-gran was left "traumatised" after Spanish cops dumped her in a detention centre and left her there until 12.30pm the following day.Due to Brexit, British passport holders can only enter Spain with a stamped passport. Have you had a Holiday From Hell?

Email monica.charsley@reachplc.com Sharon said once she arrived without the documentation, she wasn't even allowed to go outside for a cigarette and received no food or water until 10pm on Saturday.Her daughter, Adele Dempsey, secured documentation from the Foreign Office that enabled Sharon to fly with British Airways to London Gatwick at lunchtime the following day.She arrived back home on Monday and told the Record: "I'm so exhausted, I can't think straight after what has happened."I'm totally devastated at how I was treated.

Thomas is still in Benidorm and I want to get an emergency passport to join him, but don't think I'll be able to do that in time." Adele said the gran of 14 didn't realise anything was missing until she was on the shuttle bus to the airport, reports Glasgow Live.
