The other man, seeming irritated, goes to follow her while the other puts a hand out to stop her.The exchange continues, and Stevens attempts to leave, but she is further obstructed and pushed further back into the room before the footage ends. The video of the tense exchange comes without sound, so it is not possible to understand what was being discussed.The couple, according to restaurant staff, allegedly fled after scoffing prawn cocktail, breaded mushrooms and two roast chicken dinners with extra lamb.They also drank two cokes, an orange juice and a medium glass of pinot wine. Landlord Ken Todd, of The Castle Inn in Little Wakering, Essex, said previously: "For the sake of £62, if they came in and were starving I'd just give them the food. The man tried to leave through the back door of the pub which I had already locked and apparently the woman tried to escape by the bathroom window."Stevens had previously pictured herself in footage, with a post on Facebook on May 18 including photos showing the ex-lawyer wearing Mickey Mouse ears and holding a bubble-wand.The pictures are understood to have been taken at Disneyland Paris. A family friend claimed Stevens fled to France earlier this year after failing to appear before the courts despite pleas from her family to stay. They said: "The police came looking for her again and her mum had to tell them she'd gone."Additional images of Stevens in a legal wig and gown first started circulating online after the former lawyer made headlines for allegedly targeting restaurants and taxi firms.The mum-of-one was charged with eleven counts of making off without payment and one count of theft from a shop in 2024. She denies the offences and is due to face trial later this year. Stevens and partner-in-crime Daniel Alani were first probed by police in connection with a dine and dash incident where regulars stopped a couple fleeing a pub without paying their £62 bill.Steve Yeung, of The Pearl Dragon restaurant, in Eastern Esplanade, also claimed the pair had fled a £127 bill. They had scoffed down four starters, four main courses and up to eight soft drinks.Article continues belowThe pair are also believed to have been targeting taxi drivers, with many cabbies being swindled out of fares. Electrician Alani pleaded guilty to theft, theft from a shop and eight counts of making off without payment earlier this year.
