Molly-Mae Hague's sister Zoe totes £7K Chanel handbag as she heads to the gym weeks after being mocked for leaving Bali after 48 hours because it didn't meet her expectations
The fitness influencer, 28, flashed her trim midriff in a skimpy grey crop top which she teamed with a pair of high-waisted black cycling shorts.
Slipping her feet into comfy trainer and accessorised with gold jewellery with the black leather quilted designer bag under her arm.
Zoe was recently mocked by fans for leaving their luxurious Bali trip after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations.
She had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead.
Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country.
In a new her YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right.
'We came to Bali with high expectations as we'd seen on social media - everyone having such a lovely time, such gorgeous places to go for food and lovely beaches, lovely gyms, lovely coffee shops.
'If you took a picture of the coffee shop and zoomed out, you would see what the reality was. I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much, or at all.
'I do think it is down to a lot of influencers and people with large followings online, posting the more luxury side of things.'
She added: 'Before I joined the army, I spent five months travelling Southeast Asia - I did Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao. I did China, Hong Kong.
'I did a lot and I spent a lot of time in these countries, but there is something very different about Bali.
'We got told that Uluwatu, where we are now, is one of the best places to go, so that's why we came here. So if this is one of the better places, then I'm not sure what the other places are like.'
She continued: 'I do think if we'd travelled more north and gone to Ubud and maybe some of the more jungle-y areas, we may have had a different experience.
'Again, a lot of people are saying that's where they went and they felt exactly the same.
'I can really see the appeal, I can. I think if you're backpacking and want to travel about, it's great. I think for a holiday, staying in one place, not so great.'
'But then also, I say it's great for people that are backpacking but a lot of people messaged me saying they backpacked all these countries and this has been their least favourite out of all of them.
'I think there are a lot of other places to go where I think you would have a better experience and a better time.'
Fans accused Zoe of being 'out of touch with reality', pointing out Bali is a developing country where many locals live in poverty.
Others mocked her for apparently not realising that outside of high-end resorts, the island wouldn't match its glossy online image.
Despite the backlash, Zoe stood by her comments, insisting that influencers post a 'filtered' version of Bali that doesn't reflect the reality.
She told her followers that she had expected 'lovely places to eat, beaches, gyms and coffee shops' but had been left disappointed.
The criticism drew comparisons with her Love Island sister Molly-Mae, who has also been accused in the past of living in a bubble far removed from everyday struggles.
Meanwhile her sibling appeared to finally has something to smile about and claimed he she had had her 'favourite week ever' on her latest family holiday at a luxurious £2K-per-night hotel in Turkey.
The former Love Island star, 26, was all smiles in her latest Instagram post on Thursday as she spent quality time with Tommy Fury and daughter Bambi at the luxury 5-star Regnum The Crown hotel.
Shortly before her seventh trip of the year, fans blasted Molly after she claimed she 'hasn't done one fun thing' all summer despite enjoying first class trips to Dubai, Paris and Saint Tropez.
Now, the hard to please influencer looked finally happy as she wrote, 'One of the my favourite weeks ever', as she played with Bambi, two, in the sunshine.
It comes after Molly-Mae was accused of 'always moaning' in recent weeks after complaining she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations.
Prior to her current trip, she travelled business class to one of the most luxurious hotels in the UAE, the five-star Jumeirah Al Naseem, where rooms cost £14K a night.
To date, the millionaire Love Island star has spent the warmer months enjoying first class trips to Dubai, Paris, Saint Tropez and Wimbledon 's Centre Court, where she was greeted like Hollywood royalty after being invited by tournament sponsor Evian.
If that wasn't enough time away from home, that month Molly-Mae also visited private members' club Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
Molly-Mae treated herself to a couple of nights in one of the cabins, where members can enjoy spa facilities, country bike rides and tennis.
In May, she

House of The Vivienne launches in Colwyn Bay in memory of star
House of The Vivienne, described as a 'safe, inclusive space' offering free, confidential advice, guidance, and compassion, launched at Ty Enfys (Rainbow House) on Abergele Road in Colwyn Bay on Tuesday, August 12. The group is led by Chanel Williams, sister of the late James Lee Williams - better known to millions as The Vivienne - and her family. The group is led by Chanel Williams, sister of the late James Lee Williams - better known to as The Vivienne (Image: Submitted) The space has been created to honour James's life and their courage in speaking about their own struggles, and their unwavering belief in helping others. The first-ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, James died in January this year at the age of 32, following a cardiac arrest caused by the effects of taking ketamine. It was a devastating loss for family, friends, and the LGBTQ+ community, and one that Chanel is determined will help spark awareness and change. The Vivienne and Chanel (Image: Submitted) 'Ketamine is an extremely dangerous drug that is becoming more and more prevalent in the UK,' said Chanel. 'There's still a stigma around ketamine use, and that's costing lives. We want to break that stigma and create a place where people feel safe to say: I need help.' Chanel and her family, working in partnership with The Sanctuary Trust, Adferiad, and local substance abuse charities, are beginning this campaign in their hometown of Colwyn Bay, with plans to expand nationwide. James and Chanel (Image: Submitted) The Vivienne, who grew up in the seaside resort and attended Rydal Penrhos before moving to Liverpool, became a household name after winning the first series of Drag Race UK in 2019. They later made history as the only UK queen to compete on Drag Race All Stars in the US. Throughout their career, James never shied away from discussing their past ketamine addiction, using their platform to highlight its dangers and the hope of recovery. 'James brought sparkle and joy wherever they went,' said Chanel. Ty Enfys (Image: Submitted) 'But they also knew the darkness of addiction. That's why House of The Vivienne isn't just about telling people to stop - it's about meeting them where they are, without judgement, and showing them there's a way forward. 'Whether you're using, in recovery, or worried about someone you love, you are welcome here.' Ketamine, a powerful anaesthetic with legitimate medical uses, has increasingly been misused as a recreational drug, particularly among younger people. Its dangers are often underestimated, but long-term use can lead to severe bladder damage, memory problems, and in some cases, death. House of The Vivienne offers a warm, understanding space for anyone affected by addiction - whether to ketamine, alcohol, or other substances. The doors to the safe space will open every Tuesday and a listening and understanding ear will be provided. Sessions will run from 5pm–7pm. 'This is for anyone who feels alone,' Chanel added. 'James would want you to know you matter, your life matters, and there is help. "There is always hope.' For more information, email hello@ or follow the campaign on Instagram.

'There's still a stigma around ketamine use, and that's costing lives'
A fresh lifeline for individuals battling drug and alcohol dependency has been established in tribute to beloved drag performer and television star, The Vivienne. House of The Vivienne is characterised as a "safe, inclusive space" providing free, confidential support, guidance, and empathetic listening every Tuesday at Ty Enfys (Rainbow House) in Colwyn Bay. The initiative is spearheaded by Chanel Williams, sibling of the late James Lee Williams - recognised by millions as The Vivienne - alongside her family, and has been established to commemorate James's life and their bravery in discussing their personal battles, plus their steadfast commitment to supporting others. The inaugural champion of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, James passed away in January this year aged 32, following cardiac arrest triggered by ketamine consumption. It represented a crushing blow for relatives, friends, and the LGBTQ+ community, and one that Chanel is resolved will help generate awareness and transformation. "Ketamine is an extremely dangerous drug that is becoming more and more prevalent in the UK," said Chanel. "There's still a stigma around ketamine use, and that's costing lives. We want to break that stigma and create a place where people feel safe to say: I need help." Chanel and her relatives, collaborating with The Sanctuary Trust, Adferiad, and local substance misuse charities, are launching this initiative in their home town of Colwyn Bay, with ambitions to roll out across the nation. The Vivienne, who was raised in the coastal town before relocating to Liverpool, shot to fame after claiming victory in the inaugural series of Drag Race UK in 2019. They subsequently made history by becoming the sole UK contestant to feature on Drag Race All Stars across the pond. During their career, James remained candid about their former ketamine dependency, utilising their profile to expose its perils and demonstrate that rehabilitation was possible. "James brought sparkle and joy wherever they went," said Chanel. "But they also knew the darkness of addiction. That's why House of The Vivienne isn't just about telling people to stop - it's about meeting them where they are, without judgement, and showing them there's a way forward. "Whether you're using, in recovery, or worried about someone you love, you are welcome here." Ketamine, a potent anaesthetic with valid medical applications, has become increasingly abused as a recreational substance, especially amongst young people. The risks are frequently undervalued, yet prolonged consumption can result in serious bladder complications, cognitive issues, and occasionally, fatality. House of The Vivienne provides a welcoming, compassionate environment for anyone impacted by dependency - whether on ketamine, alcohol, or alternative substances. Meetings take place weekly on Tuesdays between 5pm–7pm at Ty Enfys on Abergele Road, Colwyn Bay. "This is for anyone who feels alone," Chanel added. "James would want you to know you matter, your life matters, and there is help. There is always hope." For further details, email hello@ uk or follow the campaign on Instagram.
