Natalie Welsh was caught at Venezuelan airport in 2001 smuggling £300,000 worth of cocaine out of the country - together with her four-year-old daughter. Natalie shares a story of how she got to that point in her life, how she found out she was facing 10 years in one of the deadliest prisons in South America and her incredible escape back to the UK. This is an episode of Extraordinary Lives, where we speak to people with a unique life story to tell. From a North Korea escapee to an undercover cop, a Cold War spy to a shipwreck survivor. Hosted by LADbible's Ben-Powell Jones, this series is a window into remarkable experiences – with stories that paint a picture of extraordinary lives. Thanks to Natalie for taking part!
