The hotel heiress, 29, was arrested in Port Elizabeth after allegedly being caught by police following the quarter final match between Brazil and Holland.

Police confirmed Hilton had been arrested and said an investigation was under way.

A South African judge later dropped the charges however.

South Africa’s Times newspaper reported that Hilton was escorted by police to the Mount Road Police Station in Port Elizabeth shortly before 8pm.

Hilton only arrived in South Africa on Thursday for a World Cup trip.

Since arriving in the host nation on a private jet she has posted about her experience on Twitter.

Writing on her account, she said: “It’s so beautiful here. I can’t wait to go on the Safari this week and see all the amazing animals.”

Following the game, which the Netherlands won 2-1, she wrote: “Had so much fun at the game today. What a match! I love South Africa!”
