Internet users are hitting out at Zara Holland – after reports surfaced that she was arrested for trying to “flee” Barbados after her boyfriend Elliot Love tested positive for coronavirus.
According to the UK Sun, the couple were given red bands and were due to be brought to a quarantine centre when they allegedly fled.
They were then met by cops in the airport after a hotel manager in their luxury hotel spotted they had cut off their red bands.
Rubberbandit’s star Blindboy called the Love Islander “nasty”.

“Trying to hop on to a plane full of people, knowing you’re positive is some real nasty behaviour,” he wrote on Twitter.
Taking to Twitter 2FM host Louise McSharry said the story summed up how selfish people had become during the pandemic.
Flying to Barbados for a sun holiday in the middle of this phase of the pandemic is bad, but attempting to get on a plane having tested positive is truly shocking. Yet more confirmation that some people absolutely do not give a shit about anyone other than themselves. https://t.co/VjsyaPpWoa

Apprentice star Pamela Laird also called out the Love Island alumni.
“This is outrageous,” she wrote.
“Trying to board a flight knowing they are covid positive. I hope they get the maximum fine they could have infected who knows how many people at the airport, which could still kill someone.
“People travelling for holidays right now are unbelievably selfish.”
