Having earlier gone to view the house with a friend who wanted to buy the home, Luana put in a bid sometime later after having far too many drinks.
"I went to see a house with a friend as it was on auction, but my friend didn¡¯t want it as it was in a rough area. I liked the property and thought it could be really lovely and a good investment", Luana told the Daily Star.
"So, I went to the nightclub where I worked, stayed afterwards, and got very drunk. I don't actually have any recollection of doing this, but apparently I got home the next morning, called the estate agent, put a bid in, and got the house. I woke up hungover and my boyfriend at the time was very annoyed, and was giving me the silent treatment," she continued.

According to her now ex-partner, she got home at 8:30 am and insisted on calling the estate agent, where she put the offer in on the house that was on auction.
Luana Ribeira kept the house for a year
When she woke up later, she found out that the house was hers. Luana ended up keeping the house for a year, doubled her profit, and then bought another.
The profits she made allowed her to move to Portugal, where she became an author and founded her own media company.
Luana is no stranger to making headlines, as she told The Mirror last year that she lets her 12-year-old daughter watch horror films.
"My 12-year-old loves horror, I let her watch whatever she wants-she's grown up with me being in horror movies and knows the movie tricks, so they don't scare her," she told The Mirror.
"I've got a zombie film coming out soon called There's No Such Thing as Zombies, and I'm sure she'll be watching that with me. It's fairly recent that she¡¯s shown an interest, but she's grown up with me being in horror movies and knows the 'tricks', so they are not a big deal for her", she added.
