Love Island star Arabella Chi has revealed she is preparing to hide her family in a storage cupboard in her Dubai home, amid fears over escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. The 33-year-old, who moved to the United Arab Emirates six months ago with her partner and newborn baby, said she was 'the most scared she’s ever been in her entire life'.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Monday, Chi explained that Dubai residents have been advised to stay away from windows due to the threat of retaliatory strikes. In response, she has cleared out a windowless storage cupboard to serve as a makeshift shelter. 'If we do hear a bang and feel like we need to escape, that's where we would go,' she said.
The former reality TV star’s comments come as Iran launched a series of drone and missile attacks against Israel over the weekend, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. The UAE, which normalised relations with Israel in 2020, has not been directly targeted but remains on high alert.
Chi’s disclosure has sparked debate online, with some questioning her decision to remain in the region. However, she insisted that she is following official guidance and doing everything possible to keep her family safe.
