A BRITISH OnlyFans model has been jailed for three years after admitting trying to smuggle almost £200,000 worth of Thai drugs into Spain.
Glamorous Clara Wilson, from Huthwaite, Notts, was arrested at Barcelona’s El Prat airport after travelling from Thailand with more than 34 kilos of cannabis in her suitcase.

The 36-year-old was remanded to a local jail by an investigating judge and learned in March prosecutors wanted to cage her for four years and be fined more than £750,000.
The Sun has now learned Wilson admitted to wrongdoing as part of a plea bargain deal in exchange for a more lenient punishment ahead of her full trial.
Clara, one of a string of young British women to fall foul of the law in airport drug busts in recent months, accepted a three-year prison sentence and a fine matching the estimated £185,000 value of the cannabis she tried to smuggle into Spain.
Her defence lawyer Yaiza Garcia told Barcelona’s Criminal Court she wanted the sentence suspended, but a state prosecutor opposed the application and a decision was put off to a later date.
Wilson was arrested at the Catalan capital’s El Prat airport as she got off a flight from Bangkok.
Police held her after finding 60-vacuum packed packages containing a green-coloured substance weighing 34,074 grams that tested positive for marijuana.
Public prosecutors said in an indictment drafted before her trial: “The drugs were transported by the accused with the intention of selling it to third parties on the black market where its value would have been EUROS 213,991.”
The Brit model, who goes by Kardi Cee online, has been warned she will be jailed for another two months if she fails to pay her six-figure fine.
The time she has already served in Brians 1 Prison near Barcelona would be taken into account in determining her extra jail time after sentence.
Last month it emerged teenage drug mule suspect Bella Culley’s family face a huge £100,000 fine to buy her freedom from a grim ex-Soviet jail.
The 19-year-old sparked a massive international search operation in early May after she was reported missing while she was believed to be holidaying in Thailand.
It was later revealed that Bella, from Billingham, Co Durham, had been arrested 4,000 miles away in Georgia after allegedly carrying 14kg of cannabis into the ex-Soviet nation and could be facing 20 years behind bars.
At the start of September it was reported her lawyer was close to clinching a deal which would enable her to walk free – provided her family stumps up a huge payout estimated to be around £100,000.

Bella – who fell pregnant on the disastrous backpacking trip – claims she was forced into trafficking by a Thai gang which branded her with an iron and showed her beheading videos.
Charlotte Lee May, 21, a former cabin attendant from south London, remains in custody in Sri Lanka after being arrested in May with 46kg of cannabis she allegedly attempted to smuggle into the country on a flight from Thailand.
Last month a British tourist travelling from Benidorm to Ibiza was arrested after police discovered nearly £300,000 worth of cocaine in his car.
The 27-year-old was apprehended after trying to board a ferry from the Costa Blanca resort of Denia to the Balearic island.
Cops said he reacted to an initial stop by handing them a bottle with a small amount of cannabis resin inside in an apparent attempt to throw them off the scent.
They discovered the seven kilos of cocaine during a full search in the storage compartment between the two front seats.
Video footage of the drug discovery released by the Civil Guard showed an officer hauling the narcotics which had a lizard logo on them out of the ‘hidden compartment’ and the Brit being taken away in handcuffs in a t-shirt and shorts.
Well-placed sources said at the time the cocaine had a potential street value of around £ 280,000 and would have fetched a higher price in Ibiza than on the Spanish mainland.
The Sun has reached out to Wilson’s lawyer for comment.
