A solicitor who claims she was falsely imprisoned while on board a cruise ship in 2015 has denied she intended for a suicide comment to be taken seriously.

Sections of emails sent between Caroline Fanning (49) and booking agent Trailfinders Ireland Limited in and around the time she and her 13-year-old daughter were disembarked from Royal Caribbean's ‘Oasis of the Seas’ were read to a High Court jury on Friday.
