Love Island’s Montana Brown poses in a lemon print bikini as she shares envy-inducing holiday snaps

She has faced backlash for traveling to Barbados to avoid the UK’s third lockdown. 

And, Montana Brown took to Instagram on Thursday to share envy-inducing holiday snaps of herself in a lemon print bikini.

The Love Island star, 25, showed off her slim frame in the white and yellow two-piece set as she posed with a straw hat on a sun-soaked beach.

Montana’s long blonde tresses were styled into mermaid waves and the star opted for a minimal make-up look. 

The reality babe’s tropical photos came days after she insisted it’s ‘not my intention to be insensitive’ and thanked her followers for sending ‘lovely messages’ and supporting her decision to travel in the midst of a global pandemic.

On Sunday, she wrote alongside stunning holiday snaps: ‘Just wanted to say a thanks to everyone’s lovely messages.

‘It’s hard to know where the line is with posting content and I really don’t want to be upsetting anyone. I get the odd message with people being quite angry.’

Attempting to justify her trip, Montana added: ‘I travelled well before lockdown, I’ve stayed out here because I can work from abroad and I started my business last year in lockdown and I’d like to give it a fighting chance to be honest.  

‘Sending love to you all, I am going to continue posting and again, it’s not my intention to be insensitive to anybody as I know this is an awful time for a lot of people. Sending love.’ (sic) 

Montana recently slammed ‘insensitive and irresponsible’ influencers who have jetted abroad for ‘work trips’ during the Covid pandemic, despite facing criticism herself. 

She told The Sun: ‘I do think it is insensitive and irresponsible to put on social media that you’re partying or with a large group of people, as it’s rightly seen as wrong by people who are losing family members and losing their businesses.’ 

‘A lot of people’s worlds are crashing down around them. We have a social responsibility to stick to the guidelines in some capacity and just be aware that other people are going through hell.’ 

The reality star, who has been in Barbados since December, also insisted her trip was completely different from the ones she fiercely judged.

She said: ‘I travelled before there was a national lockdown to see my family, so it was legal for me to travel. I spent Christmas out here.

‘I’ve been here ever since and haven’t moved. I actually haven’t dealt with that much hate online because of that.’
