A former Royal Marine and his girlfriend have been jailed after they were found with £1million of MDMA stashed in their hotel room for a planned drug deal after they befriended a pusher while on holiday in Ibiza.

As Leah Parkes, 28, and Charles Hendrie, 30, supped cocktails and partied on the Spanish island they struck up a friendship with drug pusher Adib Asfour and began working with him and selling drugs to clubbers.

The pair continued to be involved in the drugs scene when they returned to England and were caught carrying out a service station drug deal -using  the Holiday Inn Express just off the M6 motorway at Stafford as a base from which to deal £1million worth of MDMA.

When police caught the couple they found they had suitcases stuffed with 36 packages of the ecstasy-like drug.

The globe trotting couple had previously been to a number of exotic locations including a sailing holiday in the Bahamas and a romantic trip to Paris.

Hendrie, from Greater Manchester, had toured Iraq and Afghanistan before working as a bodyguard to several pop stars and businessmen. 

He is believed to have become embroiled in the drugs scene, along with his Parkes - his girlfriend of two years - after they met Asfour in Ibiza.

All three have been jailed for a total of 27 years.  

Parkes and Hendrie had gone to Ibiza for a romantic holiday in July 2013.
