She explains, 'Before I went on, I was promised I would be in the villa in the first three days.'
'Two weeks and three days I was on lock down. In the hotel, no phone, no TV, no anything with a chaperone.'
'On the bad days, you can sit in a room with the chaperone on her laptop but not on your own.'
