Shamed Zara McDermott is caught editing photos to hide her Maldives backdrop after she broke Tier 4 for luxury holiday
ZARA McDermott has been caught out yet again after she purposely edited photos to hide the backdrop of her Maldives break.
The Love Island star and her boyfriend Sam Thompson reportedly flaunted Tier 4 travel rules to take a secret trip to the Maldives, which has left many up in arms.
And Zara’s latest photo was sure anger the public as she cropped out the tropical backdrop of her holiday from her latest Instagram post promoting her new gymwear line.
But embarrasingly for the 24-year-old, Missguided’s official Instagram posted the original image clearly showing her location. MIC star Sam, 27, can also be seen in the unedited shot.
In the non-edited selfie, Zara is seen seductively modelling a sports bra from her new collaboration while the mirror reflection behind her shows Sam working out in their luxury Maldives resort’s gym.
She captioned the intial post: “My edit with @missguided is HERE!!!! I hope you guys love it as much as I do!
“So today we are dropping the first few styles, and over the next few days we will be adding lots and lots of extras to keep your eyes peeled…”.
Noticeably under Missguided’s post, followers are up in arms about the star flouting government travel restrictions while promoting her new range.
“Forgot to edit the picture? Unforgivable that someone would break Tier 4 travel rules and fly off to the Maldives,” one Instagram user commented.
A second penned: “This is taken in the gym at AyClub in the Ayada hotel in the Maldives where she went for holiday while in Tier 4 lockdown.
“Surprised this is being used as a promotional picture when she broke the law.”
“Not supporting anyone who has skipped off on holiday whilst we are in a lockdown and at the worst stage of the pandemic,” another wrote.
A follower penned: “We don’t support people who break lockdown rules ”.
Her latest blunder comes after the Made In Chelsea couple were spotted flying out of London on December 27, despite Tier 4 lockdown rules.
Under strict rules in place to prevent the spread of Covid 19, Brits aren’t allowed to travel internationally.
To throw fans off the scent, former Love Island star Zara, 24, shared photos on her Instagram, tagging her location as London.
Fans have accused the pair of trying to cover up the fact they were abroad by altering timestamps and sharing pre-recorded pics.
A source told MailOnline Zara and Sam stayed at luxury resort Ayada Maldives, where they previously visited in December 2019.
While Zara has been tagging her social media content with the the UK, Sam has refrained from posting since flying out of the country.
This latest news comes after Zara revealed her dream engagement ring – even after her boyfriend Sam’s dating app bombshell.
The pair got back together during the Made In Chelsea finale after splitting earlier in the year.
Taking part in the viral Instagram picture challenge, a fan asked Zara to show them her “dream engagement ring” to which she shared a pic of a huge square diamond on a silver band.
