There was a time when the Captain's Club Hotel in Christchurch, Dorset, might have welcomed the likes of former beauty queen Samantha Williamson into its award-winning riverside restaurant.
Photos from her Facebook page show the woman who represented Great Britain at the Miss Europe pageant in 2003 sipping champagne in the grounds of what looks like a Mediterranean villa and posing in Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses on a sunny quayside in Morocco.
The glamorous 44-year-old was once married to a wealthy American stockbroker and became a catwalk model represented by the Storm agency, which launched the careers of supermodels Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne.
All in all, she looks exactly the kind of person who would be very much at home in what the hotel describes as the 'sleek atmospheric interior' of its bar.
Unfortunately, its patrons saw a different side to Ms Williamson when, in June last year, she lurched towards an unfortunate couple enjoying a quiet meal as part of a £1,200 weekend getaway to celebrate their 40th anniversary and the husband's recovery from throat cancer.
