The woman was reportedly staying in the caravan with her boyfriend when it caught alight.

The couple allegedly woke up after the blaze started but were unable to get to the door and open it.

As a result, the Brit remained trapped in the trailer and died in the early hours this morning.

Her Turkish boyfriend, who was not named, reportedly also suffered burns but somehow managed to escape.
