Love Island star, 29, caught smuggling cocaine on flight from Dubai as part of £53MILLION drug ring
A LOVE Island star has been caught smuggling cocaine on a flight from Dubai as part of a £53million drug ring.
Magdalena Sadlo, 29, faces jail after she was snared at Heathrow in one of the UK’s biggest ever drug busts.
The blonde starred on the Polish version of Love Island in 2021 – bragging about she had “stolen” another woman’s boyfriend.
On the show, Magdalena described herself as a “spontaneous, self-confident blonde who you can count on”.
She was tasked with luring male contestants away from the their partners in the show’s Casa Amor.
But Magdalena was voted off after Polish trolls slammed her “scary lips” – saying she looked like she had “fallen into a beehive”.
After appearing on the show, Magdalena worked as in sales at Ascot before launching a yacht rental company in Dubai.
Madgalena has now admitted conspiring to supply a class A drug between March 2022 and May last year.
She was collared by Operation Matrix cops after flying into Heathrow from Dubai.
The 29-year-old, previously of Bracknell in Berkshire, has been remanded into custody ahead of sentencing later this year.
Carlisle Crown Court heard how a £53million county lines ring was blow apart after a drugs bust in the Lake District.
Earlier this year, nine men were handed jail sentences totalling more than 106 years for their part in the huge ring.
The gang smuggled huge quantities of cocaine into the UK before distributing it across the UK through “Amazon-style” deliveries.
But the operation unravelled after cops seized 1kg of cocaine at a lock-up in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria last year.
Officers combed through WhatsApp messages on seized phones to finger the gang’s key players – including courier Magdalena.
Prosecutor Tim Evans described the bust as one of the largest ever in the UK.
He said: “This is Amazon-style drug-dealing with that level of organisation and commerciality about it.”
It comes after The Sun revealed how gangsters are using lottery tickets to flood a UK city with crack cocaine and heroin.
