It was from her proceeds made from the £53million Dubai-based drugs operation.

In July, Sadlo, who featured in the dating show’s 2021 Polish ­version, had admitted conspiring to supply the Class A drug from May 2022 to May 2023.

She has now admitted extra charges of smuggling and money laundering at Carlisle crown court relating to an arrest after she flew to Heathrow from Abu Dhabi.

Sadlo, previously of Bracknell, Berks, will be sentenced later this year

Her barrister Peter Corrigan told Carlisle crown court: “The police downloaded her phones and computers which give rise to the new charges.

“At the same time they seized the property she has got, including expensive jewellery and watches.”

Ten men have already been jailed in connection with the original smuggling she was linked to.

Prosecutor Tim Evans told one hearing that the drugs operation was “truly-massive”.

He added: “This is Amazon-style drug-dealing with that level of organisation and commerciality about it.”

A North West Regional Organised Crime Unit spokesman said: “We hope that this sends a message to criminals that you are not untouchable.
