Wow! Sophie Kasaei looked sensational as she posed up a storm in a black and white bandana bikini on a boat in Dubai on Tuesday

The TV personality leant to the side as she posed in front of the Dubai skyline in her latest Instagram snap. 

She opted for glamorous make-up, as she wore the front portions of her hair in plaits and left the rest hanging in loose waves down her back. 

Sophie captioned the post: ‘Staying in my own lane minding my own business – Gucci Bikini @ruderthantherest.’ 

She previously enjoyed a sun-soaked trip to Dubai before returning home to spend Christmas with her loved ones.

But she returned to the celeb-favourite city to wave in the New Year alongside her reality star pals, including Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry and Bethan Kershaw. 

Sophie has joined a long line of reality stars and influencers who have travelled to Dubai this month, amid strict coronavirus restrictions back home in the UK as the third national lockdown takes hold. 

Last week, Sophie was accused of breaking coronavirus social distancing rules after she appeared to mix with three households and attended a family party on Christmas Day.

The reality star appeared to flout rules around mixing during the festive period by travelling to numerous houses and documented some of the celebrations on her social media, according to The Sun

A source claimed: ‘Sophie put the whole day on Instagram Stories – I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

‘She started the day with her mum at her house, then she went to her dad’s house to see him and her nan, then she went back to her own house – and then went off to her cousin’s house for a family party. 

‘Then she had the cheek to tweet about how good the day was – it’s one rule for celebrities and one for everything else.’ 

After eating her Christmas dinner, Sophie recorded herself travelling to her cousin’s house for a bash.

The reality star said: ‘We’re on our way, cuz. We’ve got our bottles, hun. Get us a lemonade ready, cuz.’ 

The North East was under Tier 3 restrictions at the time, meaning people could visit a maximum of two households on December 25. 

The Government website said: ‘If you do not live in a Tier 4 area, you may see a maximum of two other households (your ‘Christmas bubble’) on Christmas Day (25 December). You cannot see anyone from a Tier 4 area. 

‘You should think very carefully about the risks and only form a Christmas bubble if you feel you absolutely need to. Wherever possible, discuss alternatives to meeting up in person.’

It’s unclear whether Sophie’s father and grandmother are classed as one household, and whether her mother is living with her during the COVID-19 restrictions. 

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Sophie for comment.  

Two days after her celebrations, Sophie took to Twitter and said she had cooked dinner for herself and her mother. 

She wrote: ‘Uno what usually I’m not a massive fan of xmas and especially this year made me anxious. 

‘But Iv had such a lovely few days my first Xmas at my own home and cooked dinner for just me and my Mam. Couldn’t care less about gifts or presents it is generally all about loved ones.’
