The British backpacker jailed for stripping on a sacred Malaysian mountain has apologised for causing offence.
"I know my behaviour was foolish and I know how much offence we all caused to the local people of Sabah. For that, I am truly sorry," she said.
She said: "I just want to say how relieved and happy I am to finally be home.
A group of four tourists, including British national Eleanor Hawkins, will be deported from Malaysia after pleading guilty to a public nuisance offence when pictures emerged of them posing naked on a mountain.
Sessions judge Dean Wyane Daly described the group's decision to strip while standing at the peak of Mount Kinabalu as a "foolish antic" and ordered that they leave the country.
He said: “The people especially the native community are annoyed. Your act amounted to foolishness on your part.”
Hawkins' lawyer confirmed the 24-year-old would be flying back to Britain tomorrow. It is not yet known when Dutch national Dylan Snel and Canadian siblings Lindsey and Danielle Peterson will fly home.
