TOWIE’s Yazmin Oukhellou and a host of fellow reality stars have been snapped partying in Dubai despite the current UK lockdown.

Yazmin, 26, and a host of famous faces – including Love Island’s Georgia Harrison – flew out to the United Arab Emirates to attend a showbiz bash.

The party was held to launch a new phone app and other attendees included Too Hot To Handle’s Chloe Veitch, her co-star Nicole O’Brien and Ex On The Beach’s Rogan O’Connor and Brandon Myers.

But the stars are likely to face harsh criticism over their decision to fly to Dubai for the ‘socially distanced’ event.

A host of influencers have already faced a backlash for heading overseas during the UK’s new lockdown, claiming their trips abroad after for business trips.

Earlier this week, Kym Marsh and Olivia Attwood slammed reality stars who have been living it up in Dubai while coronavirus cripples much of the world.

Influencers have been slammed for jetting off to Dubai

The Coronation Street star, 44, and Love Island favourite, 26, made their opinions on the matter very clear – and aren’t impressed with those who have decided to jet off to the UAE.

Writing in her OK! column, Kym said: “If you’ve got to travel for work then fair enough, but I personally would be putting off that trip and staying at home.

“From what I can see from the pictures of people in Dubai, every man and his dog is there and it doesn’t look particularly socially distanced!

“It looked like lockdown and coronavirus wasn’t happening and I can see it would be easy to forget about social distancing.

“You could pick it up and then bring it back. I think we should just shut the borders and none of us travel anywhere.”

On Friday (January 15, 2021), Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced he was axing travel corridors for ALL countries – including Dubai – from Monday night.

This means anyone coming into the country from 4am on Monday will be ordered to isolate for 10 days.

People will, however, be able to get a Covid test on day 5 to be released, providing the results are negative.
