A Netflix reality TV celebrity has been handed suspended jail sentence for attempting to smuggle drugs worth £150,000 (US$190,000) from the U.K. to Thailand.

Olga Bednarska, 27, who starred in reality show “Too Hot to Handle”, was found carrying two suitcases containing 40 kg of cannabis at the Manchaster Airport on Oct. 20, the Telegraph reported.

She pleaded guilty on Tuesday and was handed a 20-month prison sentence suspended for two years, the Daily Mail reported.

Bednarska had previously agreed to bring designers’ goods from Thailand’s Phuket back to the U.K. for £18,000, a court heard. She later met an “associate” at the airport, before checking into a hotel “free of charge” and being given money, along with the two suitcases.

The “associate” then asked Bednarska to use personal items to cover up the goods she agreed to carry with her.

Authorities however questioned her upon arrival at Manchester.
