BUSTED: Adult film star Isabelle Lagace jailed for smuggling cocaine worth £18 MILLION into Australia on a cruise ship that set sail from Britain

A FORMER adult film star has been jailed today in Australia after admitting she tried to smuggle £18million worth of cocaine on a cruise ship.

Canadian Isabelle Lagace, 29, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison after she pleaded guilty to taking the class A drug on-board the £11,000-per-head MS Sea Princess, that set off from Britain.

She claimed she tried to smuggle the drug after being given an ultimatum about clearing a $20,000 debt to an unnamed person.



Lagace, from Quebec, had boarded the luxury cruise ship in Southampton in June and had documented her journey across the US, South America and Pacific with dozens of Instagram posts and bikini-clad photos.

When the ship docked in Sydney on the 51st day of the 68-day cruise, Australian Border Force officers found 30kg of cocaine stashed in a suitcase in her cabin, the court heard.

The court heard how Lagace took full responsibility for her actions saying: “I have embarrassed my family, my friends, myself.

“It pains me to know that my defining years of womanhood will be spent in prison halfway around the world.”
