Kelly has now told the Yorkshire Evening Post that the group ended up at a stranger's 60th birthday party on Saturday night and were given all inclusive food at the buffet from the sympathetic party goers.
She said: "We went out last night and ended up at someones 60th we don't know.
"They felt sorry for us after our dramatic journey so offered us free all inclusive food at the buffet.

"We are finding it hard to spend out euros, so we are now shopping round the market - in our rain macs!"
Kelly said the group were waiting until 1pm to visit the local bingo as they were 'due some luck'.
She added: "We want to try and win big, we all need some luck!"
