A British jihadi bride being held in a Syrian detention camp has begged ministers to let her back in the country and said that she misses her life, especially fish and chips.
Reema Iqbal, 30, is a mother-of-two originally from Canning Town, east London, but has spent four years married to ISIS extremist Celso Rodrigues Da Costa.
Iqbal lived with her husband in the caliphate before being moved to a detention camp with hundreds of jihadi brides in northeastern Syria with ISIS nearing total defeat.

Celso Rodrigues Da Costa has appeared in ISIS propaganda videos in the past and boasted about slaughtering 'infidels'.
The extremist is a Harrods sales assistant turned jihadist.
His wife says that she now wants to return to Britain along with her sister Zara, who is being held in another camp.
She claims that she understands why the UK is reluctant to have her back, but believes that she should be judged individually rather than grouped with other jihadi brides.
She spoke about her desire to return to the country and revealed what she missed about it to the Sunday Times: 'What are you trying to torture us for?
Some jihadi brides, like Natalie Bracht (left), have already reportedly returned to the UK and now Iqbal wants to as well
'There's nothing that we've done. I'm going to cry.
'[I miss] Fish and chips any day. First choice — fish and chips. Food and friends, the whole lot. Your whole life. It's sad that it goes, just like that. That your whole life can change just like that.'
She also said that she misses the NHS and claims that medical standards in the caliphate are hopeless in comparison.
Iqbal revealed that jihadi brides were forced to have caesarean procedures during birth, as the male ISIS fighters preferred it.
She says that she wants to return home and face trial in order to give her side of the story.
Iqbal claims that, in her culture, she was expected to follow her husband and that was what she was doing when she traveled with him to join ISIS.
She also says that her four and five year old sons, Ibraheem and Musa, need to return to the UK as living through the fall of the caliphate as it came under attack by the anti-Isis coalition, has left them mentally scarred.
She says that the boys cry and hide when they hear loud noises, as it reminds them of airstrikes.
