Despite breaking the government’s 14-day quarantine rules by jetting to Marbella eight days after returning from Ibiza with Lottie Tomlinson, Lewis Burton wasn’t being coy about flaunting his trip to Spain over the weekend.
Taking to Instagram he shared snaps from his trip as he larked around shirtless in the Spanish sunshine.
He was snapped in a truck in some of the photos, joking with whoever was taking the snap.
Despite breaking the government’s 14-day quarantine rules by jetting to Marbella eight days after returning from Ibiza with Lottie Tomlinson, Lewis Burton wasn’t being coy about flaunting his trip to Spain over the weekend
When questioned by one fan in the comments about his rule-breaking, he simply replied: ‘Quarantines confusing!’
The former tennis player, 28, appears not to have grasped the concept of staying home for two weeks after traveling to Spain.
The hunk flew on a private jet formerly owned by Lewis Hamilton to Biggin Hill airport in London on August 24 after holidaying on party island Ibiza with his influencer girlfriend, 21.
Eight days later, Lewis travelled to Marbella, making him in breach of the government’s quarantine rules and susceptible to a £1,000 fine.

Holidaymakers returning from Spain to the UK are required to self-isolate for 14-days, a rule which was made compulsory from July 27.
Lewis spent a week in Ibiza with Lottie, where the new couple were seen passionately kissing, before arriving back at his Kent home for eight days.
Caroline Flack’s ex-boyfriend has since been posting photos on his Instagram story from Marbella, including at restaurant Nobu and hotel Puente Romano.

Lewis has holidayed this summer in Marbella and Ibiza on various different trips, but his most recent break was enjoyed with Louis Tomlinson’s sister, Lottie.
MailOnline revealed the new couple had grown close in July, with the pair confirming their romance by holding hands and kissing in Ibiza.
As well as showing their affections towards each other, Lewis and Lottie were also pictured looking animated and it’s possible they may have been arguing.
They flew to and from Ibiza on a red private jet in a large group and spent their time abroad partying in bars and onboard a boat.

Lewis has likely put others at risk by breaking the law and flying to Marbella, despite only being eight days into his quarantine.
The 14-day self-isolation period was instated following a rise in coronavirus cases in Spain, and the Balearic and Canary Islands in late July.
Quarantining means you aren’t able to leave your house for exercise or to go to the shops and visitors are prohibited, unless they are providing emergency help or medical care.
Those caught breaching quarantine face a £1,000 penalty in England, or even prosecution – which can result in an unlimited fine.
If you’re returning to the UK from countries such as France, Portugal, Austria, Croatia, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Czech Republic, Jamaica or Switzerland, you will be required to self-isolate.
Lottie, who should be quarantining following her trip to Ibiza, posted a picture on Wednesday, which was taken in Brighton, with the caption: ‘Mid-week hair flick’ though it is unclear if the snap is a throwback.
Lewis became romantically involved with Lottie five months after the tragic passing of Love Island host Caroline Flack, who took her life aged 40.
The model last posted about the loss of Caroline in March, one month after her death.
He said on Instagram: ‘It’s already been a month, I love and miss you so much, I never thought that one day I will never be able to see or speak to you again.
‘I wake up and think you’re going to be laying next to me or you’re going to call me in a minute.
‘It just doesn’t seem real.’
Caroline’s mum Christine recently voiced her opinion towards Lewis’ new relationship by posting comments on photographs of her daughter with her former boyfriend.
Christine wrote ‘This relationship did end her life’ on a picture of Caroline and Lewis taken in August 2019 and ‘he’s doing the same pose with a different girl’ on a separate post.
Writing on a photo shared to Caroline’s Instagram profile of her and Lewis, Christine added: ‘Want this deleted so much.’
Another follower commented: ‘He’s got a new gal and she’s dead. I honestly blame his womanising ways, poor Caroline.’
Christine replied: ‘I agree.’ She also wrote elsewhere in the comments section: ‘I feel the same this photo is a lie.’
