Celia Imrie has recounted an extraordinary night in California when a hotel booking mix-up left her and actress Fidelis Morgan stranded after dark
Their reserved Radisson had been boarded up and relocated, forcing the pair to ask strangers for directions
A misunderstanding led police to suspect they were soliciting, and Imrie was placed in the back of a patrol car
Once officers confirmed the hotel had moved across town, they drove the friends safely to its entrance
The former Celebrity Traitors contestant described the unexpected lift as an enjoyable adventure rather than a frightening ordeal.
