Zara Holland, a “Love Island” star and Miss Great Britain 2015, has been arrested while trying to leave Barbados with her boyfriend after he tested positive for the coronavirus, a report said.
The 25-year-old beauty and her beauty Elliott Love were caught while reportedly trying to board a plane to the UK to avoid being taken to a quarantine facility, The Sun reported.
The lovebirds – who planned to celebrate the New Year on the Caribbean getaway – could face criminal charges, including endangering the lives of others and fines, the outlet said.
If convicted, they could end up spending a year in jail, it added.
Holland and Love were put to the test when they arrived on the island on Sunday afternoon and ordered to isolate themselves in their hotel room to await the results.
When Love’s result came back positive on Tuesday, the pair were given red wristbands and told they would be taken to a military base converted into a quarantine center, The Sun reported.
But before health officials arrived in protective gear and then headed to the facility, Holland and Love cut off their wristbands, booked a flight and ran to the airport in a taxi, according to the outlet.
A staffer at their posh Sugar Bay Barbados resort reportedly spotted their discarded bands and alerted the police, who approached the duo at the airport security checkpoint.
They were being held in a COVID-19 ward at St. Lucy Hospital.
Holland, who was stripped of her beauty crown after Love Island aired images of her performing oral sex under the covers of a contender, now runs a fashion boutique with her mother.
Dr. Kenneth George, Barbados’ Chief Medical Officer, said several British tourists have violated the island’s COVID-19 rules.
“There are three tourists who are of particular interest. Two are in quarantine and one in police custody, ”he told The Sun. “Two have been detained at the airport. This is a police matter and I am confident that the correct evidence will be provided. “
