Midnight Celebrity: Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy stranded in Kenya

Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy is reportedly terrified for her safety - as she is trapped in her Kenyan holiday villa after the country's riots spread to the trendy tourist town where she is staying.

Earlier this week, the 22-year-old student saw in the New Year cavorting on a sun-soaked beach in a blue-and-white spotted bikini and sexy white mini-skirt.

She is staying with her brother Shaun and a group of pals.

But Chelsy's paradise break has turned sour and has been forced to seek refuge in her luxury apartment for fear of getting caught-up in crossfire.

As tensions build in the wake of the East African state's disputed election last Sunday, trouble has flared on Chelsy's doorstep.

Police officers armed with tear gas have fought running battles with rioters and a bar in town was burned down. Five men were arrested after being caught with petrol bombs and panicked local police have called in support forces.

One resident told Britain's News Of The World newspaper: "Things are very tense. The police are trying to break up gangs before they do real damage and tourists are keeping to their hotels and villas."

Chelsy was due back in Leeds on Friday to begin three weeks of university exams tomorrow (Monday).

But British consular officials have warned Brits in Kenya not to travel. A spokesman said: "In affected areas, we are advising people to stay indoors and seek local advice."

Chelsy is now too nervous to risk even the short drive to Malindi airport, from where she must fly to Kenyan capital Nairobi then London.

A friend of Chelsy's said: "We were expecting her back over the weekend but she's had to change her plans because of the troubles. There's been some violence and unrest where she's staying and it's seen as a risk getting to the airport in Malindi by road.

"She also doesn't know what would await her in Nairobi if she flew there. So she's trying to work out the best way to get back. But at the moment she is effectively stranded."

Chelsy has been sunning herself away from freezing Britain for the last month, spending time with family and friends in South Africa and Zimbabwe before flying on to Kenya to see in 2008.

Prince Harry, 23, and Chelsy split in November over his wild party lifestyle and lack of commitment.
