Watch: Fantasist nurse dodges reporter's questions

A nurse who lied about her experience and qualifications to get a job has dodged questions from BBC Wales when confronted outside court.

Tanya Nasir, 45, from Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, told hospital bosses she had served in Afghanistan with the "Royal British Army" - she hadn’t.

She claimed she was a highly qualified neonatal nurse and an Army combat medic who had been shot at twice and had a raft of clinical and academic qualifications.

A jury at Cardiff Crown Court found her guilty of all nine counts of fraud. as well as fraud by false representation and she will be sentenced on 24 September.

As Nasir left court, BBC Wales reporter Colette Hume quizzed her about her lies.
