Zoe Rae, the sister of former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, has cut short her 10-day anniversary trip to Bali after just 48 hours, claiming the Indonesian island does not live up to the image portrayed on social media.
The 28-year-old fitness influencer and her husband Danny had planned the lavish holiday to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. However, Zoe took to social media to express her disappointment, saying the reality of Bali is far from the luxury shown by influencers.
In a video from her hotel room, Zoe said: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time.' She added that if you 'zoomed out' from the picturesque coffee shops and beaches, you would see a different reality.
Zoe, who has previously travelled extensively in Asia, said Bali felt different from other destinations she had visited. She and Danny decided to leave early and head to Dubai instead. 'When you know you are not happy, why delay it,' she said.
Her comments sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some agreeing that Bali's poverty is often glossed over by influencers, while others defended the island as a beautiful destination if expectations are managed.
