Greaves, wearing a black suit and pale green blouse, appeared tearful as she stood alongside co-accused Adam Dickinson in the dock.
Dickinson, 31, from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, also pleaded guilty to a charge of making an offer to supply a class A drug, namely cocaine.
The court heard the charges were brought following a “lengthy and very complex investigation” by South Yorkshire Police into drug-dealing activity in South Yorkshire.

Judge John Burgess adjourned sentencing for reports and said the pair would be sentenced at a date to be set at Sheffield Crown Court. The judge granted them unconditional bail.
