How Angela Scanlon ended up spending a night in a Mexican prison

Angela Scanlon has recounted the night she ended up banged up abroad when she spent the night in a Mexican prison.

The RTE and BBC television presenter was a guest on Alan Carr's Life's A Beach podcast when she brought up the experience.

Explaining to Alan how it happened, she revealed that she used her sister's passport when travelling.

She said: "‘I was in a Mexican prison. That’s a whole other story. Yeah I was, I spent the night in a Mexican prison.

"I didn’t just flash my t**s guys! I tried to enter into the US, with my sister’s expired passport which is actually illegal.

"I just thought, I didn’t want to lose my own ID and I was under the drinking age.

"So I was like, “I’ll just bring Christine’s passport.""

She then explained that she convinced one of her friends to bring her own expired passport on the trip, so she ended up in the cell with Angela.

"So the two of us were banged up abroad," she joked to Alan.

She added that her friends had to "go on a Greyhound bus across the country, eight hours each way" to get cash and bring the passports as well.

Joking about Angela's experience, Alan asked her if Ross Kemp turned up to do a prison documentary.
