"I returned straight away and handed the items to staff. "I was asked to pay and I said I would and the manager accepted this." Despite her insistence she offered to pay, the comic said she was suddenly ushered into a locked room.

That means she's now trapped in Turkey while police continue investigating the alleged shoplifting — a charge that carries a possible three-year jail term.
