TOWIE’s Mario Falcone has been accused of a posting a picture of himself in Essex – when he was really out in Dubai.

The 32-year-old star shared a picture of him sat in his garden in the UK but a video of him in the sunshine suggested he was actually abroad.

An onlooker told the Mail, who published the video: “It’s bad enough the influencers who are out here trying to defend themselves as some have.

“But to slip over here and leave all your Instagram followers thinking that you’re back home shivering with everyone else in England during lockdown is outrageous.”

Mario and his fiance Becky Miesner have been staying at the £250-a-night Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Hotel with their son Parker, the Mail reports.

On Thursday, she posted a photo of her wrapped up in a coat and wellies around the same time period the video is claimed to be shot.

But in the footage Mario is seen in shorts and a T-shirt with Becky in a summery dress pushing their two-year-old’s pram.

It is believed the family left Dubai on Friday morning and has already returned to the UK with his family.

The Mail quotes a friend of the couple who said Becky was in Dubai for a meeting related to her beauty business and that Mario had gone there for 48 hours to look after Parker. 

Tonight he shared footage of the family at home watching Peppa Pig on the big screen and enjoying a Dominos delivery.

The Sun Online has contacted a rep for Mario.

The UAE, of which Dubai is a part, has been added to Britain’s quarantine ‘red list’ amid a spike in coronavirus cases.

Direct flights are now on hold meaning Brits – including any Instagram stars out in Dubai – will only be able to make their trips back via third countries.

Earlier this week Mario questioned the incoming quarantine rules, tweeting: “So with this ‘hotel quarantine’ idea. Will lorry drivers bringing food In have to? Football teams in the European cups?

“Pilots and cabin crew? What stops people just leaving? A fine? By force? Are the hotels ventilation systems not going to pass the virus around?”
