Fitness influencer slammed on social media after defending her trip to Dubai during lockdown

A fitness influencer has been slammed on social media, after she defended her trip to Dubai during lockdown.

During an appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Sheridan Mordew said she flew to the UAE for “work” earlier this month, to create content for her 13k followers on Instagram.

The 24-year-old jetted to Dubai on January 1st, the day her home in Sunderland entered Tier 4 restrictions.

At the start of her interview, Holly Willoughby asked: “Is it essential for you to do this in Dubai and where you are rather than here in England?”

Sheridan, who was filmed sitting by a pool, replied: “So, the reason why I came out to Dubai was purely for business.”

“Like I said, I’m a personal trainer, lots of the gyms are closed, everything was in Tiers, so I took my online business over to Dubai and now I do things in my apartment.”

Phillip Schofield said: “A lot of this fitness stuff could be in your garage in Bolton. You don’t have to be in Dubai.”

The 24-year-old replied: “The main reason was for my own self and mental health, obviously during the second lockdown I was really struggling.”

“Being a motivator myself, a lot of my clients depend on me to bring their motivation, their happiness up… I thought I can’t be bothered, and I thought the only way I was going to get out of it was by finding a way for essential travel and getting out to Dubai.”

“I’m not hurting anybody, I’m creating jobs, helping people’s mental health, I’m following the guidelines.”

Sheridan concluded her interview by saying: “In a world where you can be anything be kind, and I think a lot of people forget about that.”

But Holly hit back: “You’re saying be kind, but are you being kind to them by encouraging others to travel for what you deem as essential work?”

Sheridan claimed she’s not encouraging others to come out to Dubai, and Phil quipped: “Oh, that makes me feel better!”

After a video of her interview was shared online, Sheridan was slammed on social media, as people pointed out her Dubai content is “anything but motivating”.
