Love Island’s Montana Brown says she’s struggling to make Instagram content while in Barbados

Montana Brown has admitted she is stuck what to upload on Instagram amid the backlash over influencers flaunting bikini-clad snaps while on ‘work trips’ abroad. 

The Love Island star, 25, took to Instagram on Monday to explain her dilemma as she admitted she is wary if she posts too much about being in Barbados it could upset her followers who are in lockdown 3.0 in the U.K. 

A slew of reality TV stars and influencers have been trolled online after being slammed by Home Secretary Priti Patel for jetting abroad under the ruse of a ‘work trip’ despite strict COVID-19 travel rules. 

Taking to Instagram, Montana said: ‘Hello my sweet angels. I need some guidance actually from you guys.

‘I want to know what you want to see. I’m still conscious I am away. I don’t want to make anyone upset. 

‘So do you want see more fitness things? What would make you feel better about the current situation?

‘Do you want to see more skin stuff, me to go on live more, more stories?

‘Give me some guidance, always love a little tip off from you guys. I need to do more don’t I content wise? But I’m not sure what you want to see.’ 

Ministers are understood to have been increasingly concerned about social media ‘infuencers’ and other celebrities turning up in exotic destinations while the rest of the country is in lockdown.

One government source told MailOnline last week people appeared to have been exploiting grey areas about what counts as ‘essential’ work trips.

‘It is quite clear there are some high profile people getting away with it and what they are claiming as work is not,’ they said.

And last week Priti Patel criticised those who have been holidaying in the sun when they have been told to stay at home.  

She said going on holiday was ‘not an exemption’ as she unveiled a strict borders clampdown to slow the spread of the virus, telling the Commons: ‘People should simply not be travelling.

‘We see plenty of influencers showing off where they are – mainly sunny places.’

As the criticism intensifies, members of the public appear to be taking umbrage with their tone deaf posts from Dubai – now dubbed ‘Covid Cosablanca.’ 

Hostile messages on Instagram and Twitter pages are accusing them of recklessly spreading the virus and putting the NHS under increasing strain.

Many claim they jetted off for ‘unavoidable work trips’ – with some even going so far as to suggest that their social media posts should make them ‘key workers’.

Laura Anderson, who appeared on Love Island in 2018, moaned about how ‘hard it was to be an influencer’ after she was met with a backlash about her Dubai trip, before claiming she went as a ‘coping mechanism’ to deal with COVID.

Scores of reality TV stars ‘used loop holes’ to flee to the likes of Dubai, St. Barts, Mexico and the Maldives to lounge in luxury hotels, pose for pictures with cocktails on sun loungers and enjoy beach parties.
