Hotel releases photos after Brit mum jailed in Turkey for 'biggest mistake' celebrating boyfriend's new teeth
A Turkish hotel has released photos of the room allegedly damaged by a British mother who'd been celebrating her boyfriend's new 'Turkey teeth'.
Georgia Harrison and her partner Arron Tighe had been staying at the Lexia Hotel in Antalya back in May, while Tighe underwent surgery to get £2,000 veneers.
Following the procedure Harrison and Tighe opted to spend their final day in Turkey celebrating; however the cleaner ended up mixing alcohol with antipsychotic medication, causing her to black out.
When Harrison came to, she discovered their hotel room had been completely trashed.

The panicked couple attempted to dash to the airport, but were ultimately stopped and arrested by police.
A judge has since ruled the pair cannot travel home from Turkey until a bill of £15k is paid to the hotel.
Harrison has since admitted to smashing the shower screen in a GoFundMe appeal set up by the partner, but has maintained that it's unfair to keep her away from her 12-year-old daughter for so many weeks.
"[It was] worst mistake of my life. I can't change it but wow am I paying for it," she said.
She has also claimed that a lawyer in the UK told her to offer to pay no more than £3k in damages as the total damage shouldn't cost any more than £1,000.
However the Lexia Hotel has now shared a statement in response, as well as releasing numerous photos which they claim is the damage Harrison is responsible for.
Claiming that Harrison was responsible for not only smashing a shower screen, but also pulling a TV off the wall and broken the room's minibar, beds and outer window.
The hotel also claimed the room needed to be painted due to food which had been splattered across the walls and ceiling, while the two separate beds which had acted as a double had been broken. Wall-mounted objects and lighting systems had also been removed.
Describing the room as 'unusable' a statement from the hotel continued: "The furniture, add-ons, and all kinds of items used in our rooms are specially designed, and within this scope, the repair of our room took approximately one month.
"We would also like to state that our room could not be sold to customers for one month, and our facility suffered financial damage in this regard."
The post continued: "Our aim is to act within the framework of justice and transparency. You can examine the photos below to reflect the truth against one-sided narratives. As stated by our guests themselves, our guests left the hotel room unusable."
