A 30-year-old businesswoman is facing up to six years in a Dubai jail for breaching the country's strict ban on unmarried - and public - sex.

British publishing firm manager Michelle Palmer breached the strict ban during a boozy beach romp after she was caught canoodling in public with a holiday hunk.

The Sun reports that Authorities – under growing pressure to curb the excesses of westerners who flock to the Muslim emirate – say she will also be deported from the country where she has lived and worked for three years.

Palmer was arrested when an officer saw her having sex on Jumeirah Beach. It is believed she was put in a cell.

She had earlier got drunk during a champagne brunch which turned into an all-day binge.

Michelle, 30, is alleged to have called the cop a f****** Muslim **** and tried to hit him with her high-heeled shoe before being restrained.

Sex outside marriage is considered an offence in Dubai – one of the seven states which make up the United Arab Emirates.

Michelle was later charged with that, plus indecent behaviour in public, being drunk in public, and assaulting a police officer.

Authorities have warned her she faces between three months and six years in jail in the Arab state.
