The Border Agency says the area is also known as a landing place for immigrants trying to get into the country illegally, and they got a tip last month that a suspicious group had been spotted on two fishing boats.
The guards involved quickly realized who they were dealing with, the Mirror reported Friday.
"Even though we were innocent I am so sorry they didn't arrest us," Rivers said. "I love Englishmen and they were very cute!"
Her friend, Lady Sondes, said she was told the Border Agency acted in a "friendly and efficient manner."
