TOWIE star James Lock apologises for ‘insensitive’ social media posts while in Dubai

James Lock has apologised for his “insensitive” social media posts while he’s been in Dubai.

The TOWIE star insisted he was in the United Arab Emirates for “work” purposes, while the UK remains in a strict lockdown.

The 34-year-old admitted he “should have been more considerate'” to “people back home who are struggling” amid the coronavirus pandemic, as he posted photos from his trip online.

Speaking to The Sun, James said: “I hold my hands up, I have been insensitive at times. I should have been more considerate to the people back home who are struggling.”

“I know people are finding it hard, including my own family and people that I love. But I honestly haven’t meant to upset anyone and I’m not a bad person. I’ve tried to be as respectful as I can.”

“Some influencers were out here partying but I’ve not been here on holiday I’ve been out here working hard and that’s why I stayed.”

“People are saying you can be an influencer anywhere but you really can’t. It’s all determined by your traffic on social media,” he explained.

“I understand if people think it’s distasteful but that’s our job to promote things,” the reality star continued.

“If we don’t we don’t earn money and we can’t pay our bills. Would it be better if we were asking the Government for help? Or if we went bankrupt?”

“I’m trying to provide for myself and my family like anyone else would in my position.”

The news comes after James and on-off girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou split while over in Dubai.

The couple dated for two years before splitting in August 2019, before rekindling their romance last year.

The reality stars confirmed the news to OK! Magazine, with James telling the publication: “We’ve broken up.”

“We tried to make it work and we really thought it was going to be different this time but things don’t always work out as you’d expect.”

“I have a lot of love for Yaz and a huge amount of respect for her but we’re just better apart.”
