Ms Daggett's family claims that she has done nothing wrong, has never used narcotics and was rather lured to move to Dubai.
Her grandmother Heather Smith told the
"The bloke she was working for said for her to come to Dubai, you'll love it there, the lifestyle is wonderful. Now she is locked up.
"But she is innocent because they have done all the tests and there was nothing in her system."

Mrs Smith described how the woman was being treated harshly inside the prison.
She added: "She hasn't had a shower for a month, she hasn't had a change of clothes for three months. She has had nothing.

"Women get treated far worse than male prisoners, who get to go outside, they get sports, a
PlayStation
and a
television
- Bella has nothing.
"She can speak to me and her mum every day though, which is good. But we have been in bits."
It is understood that Ms Dagget was arrested alongside another man, with whom she was living at the time.
The grandma said her family had warned Ms Dagget about the potential dangers of the Middle Eastern city with tough prison laws.
She added: "She was arrested with a lad, who was not her boyfriend, with whom she was staying because things had fallen through with another house.
"She didn't really like him that much.'He may be guilty of something, but she isn't."
"We told Bella before she went to Dubai, 'you know the rules in Dubai, play by the rules, don't flaunt this, don't do that'."
She added said she was going to move back to
Leeds
just before being arrested.
It is not clear under what charges Ms Dagget was arrested.
Ms Daggett's mum Lucinda Smith, with whom she ran a Leeds-based modelling agency,
posted a
page to help her daughter.
The fundraiser read: "My daughter Isabella has been wrongfully detained in Dubai, and we are doing everything we can to prove her innocence and bring her back home.
"We have proof she was not involved in these charges and are determined to fight for her freedom. The hideous conditions she is living in are enough to break any mother's heart.
"The legal and travel expenses are overwhelming, and we need your support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us cover the costs of legal fees, travel, and other necessary expenses."

Senior police officer who wrote the Met's drugs strategy fired for second time after refusing to take drugs test
A SENIOR police officer has been fired for a second time after refusing to take a drugs test. The Met then ordered a fresh misconduct hearing for his refusal to provide a urine sample in 2020. It again found him guilty of gross misconduct. The cop, on the force since 1976, had been suspended on full pay throughout the process. Met Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said: 'I am enormously concerned that almost five years since this incident happened we have only now been able to dismiss Commander Bennett. READ MORE ON POLICE 'This should have been a simple matter. Commander Bennett has never disputed he refused a lawful order to take a drugs test. 'As a senior officer who had chaired misconduct hearings, Commander Bennett was highly experienced and knew full well what was required of him, yet he made a choice not to co-operate. 'He has been suspended on full pay for an extraordinary length of time. I am sure Londoners will be as outraged as we are at the utter waste of public funds spent paying a senior officer to sit at home suspended and not work.' Mr Bennett wrote the Met's drugs strategy for 2017-21, titled Dealing With The Impact Of Drugs On Communities.
