Samie Elishi confesses 'I love Bali' just days after Molly-Mae's sister Zoe is mocked for leaving the island after just 48 hours because it didn't meet her expectations
Samie Elishi has confessed she 'loves Bali' just days after Molly-Mae's sister was mocked for leaving the island after just 48 hours due to being disappointed. Zoe, 28, has been slammed by her followers this last week after she confessed Bali did not meet her expectations and so fled to Dubai instead after just two days. The fitness enthusiast travelled to the Indonesian country to celebrate her one-year anniversary with her husband Danny. But despite staying in a huge sea view room at a 5-starRadisson Blu, 'something wasn't quite right' and so she fled her resort. And it has appeared that Samie has taken a subtle swipe at the star as she showed her support for the developing region during her holiday. As her wine glass was being topped up, Samie posted a snap of herself to her Instagram Stories with the caption. 'Cheers bbys, I luv Bali'. When Zoe explained the reasoning behind her departure, she claimed 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 YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: '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. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.' Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it. 'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.'; 'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.'; 'I'm interested to know what exactly you didn't like about it? You didn't really go into specifics? I travelled there last year and loved it!'; Others agreed with Zoe, adding: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!! We tried to enjoy it as much as we could but it is 100% portrayed sooo differently by influencers,' 'Why is everyone hating? Bali isn't for everyone, they arrived and didn't like it? Why would they waste time & money somewhere they're not enjoying?' In 2019, Zoe's sister Molly-Mae shared with fans that she 'fell in love with Bali' as she shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram. Zoe later shared a photo dump on Instagram, showcasing her lavish Dubai trip after leaving Bali. Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it Others agreed with Zoe: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!!' Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!' The couple stayed at Atlantis The Royal, with rooms starting from around £290 per night during July, which is considered low season. In peak season, rooms can cost £1,570 a night. Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!!! 'Going at this time of year definitely helped as everything was a lot cheaper!! For a very special occasion it's perfect.'

Samie Elishi shows ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she poses for sultry snaps in a thong bikini during Bali getaway
Samie Elishi showed ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she posed for sultry bikini snaps on Monday. The Love Island star, 25, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a colourful skimpy two-piece during her Bali getaway. Samie had a matching cover-up on her daybed while sunbathing and accessorised with stylish sunglasses. The influencer went make-up free for the Instagram pictures, which saw her sprawled out on all fours. It comes after the pair reunited just weeks after splitting, as they were seen attending Rehab's Rooftop Spa launch party. Last month, a source revealed the pair had ended their two-month romance after things 'fizzled out' between them. But in footage obtained by MailOnline, Sam and Samie could be seen chatting at the bash alongside his former Made In Chelsea co-star Lucy Watson in London's Shoreditch House, hinting the pair's romance could be back on. The pair joined a slew of stars, including Stacey Solomon and Mel C, at the party, which celebrated the release of the REHAB Retreat Range, their first body care collection. A source revealed: 'Sam was in good spirits as he caught up with Samie at the rehab event. They were queuing for drinks and they were chatting away. 'He gently stroked her arm to make sure she had a drink and the pair were laughing away with Lucy Watson and her partner. 'Samie was never far away from Sam during the party where Mel C performed an incredible set and everyone was dancing. 'Sam and Samie chatted away to other guests but kept making their way back to one another before eventually leaving at the same time.' Just hours before attending the party, Samie revealed on Snapchat she was heading to the event before jetting to Bali for a girls trip the following day. Sam, 32, started dating Samie famed for her appearances on Love Island, in April and the couple were later spotted passionately kissing after attending Olivia Attwood 's birthday party. It was Sam's first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott, 28, who is now with former One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson . A source confirmed that the pair decided against taking their romance any further due to their busy work schedules, which in recent weeks has seen Sam raise over £1.6million for charity UNICEF after he conquered a 260-mile endurance challenge. The former I'm A Celeb winner said taking part in the mammoth task, where he transported the Soccer Aid match ball from London's Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford in Manchester, gave him the focus he needed to overcome a difficult start to 2025. Meanwhile, Samie, who Sam had introduced to close friend and Staying Relevant co-host Pete Wicks , has been jet setting with various brands following her stint on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, including to Mykonos, Greece , with Space NK. A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie's romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together. 'For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.' Last week, Sam admitted that he is 'not ready' to date again, telling pal Pete on his podcast Staying Relevant : 'Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson , who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter '. Laughing, Pete replied: 'I think you have more chance with the ginger fella'. 'Ron! No, Louise thinks I should go for British thespian because she thinks its a little different, classy is the wrong word, but well to do', Sam added. Pete joked: 'Opposites attract, she wants you to go out with someone opposite to even you out.' Confirming he won't be dating for a while, Sam bluntly confirmed: 'No, I'm going to work on myself. No dating, I'm not ready and I've realised that'. MailOnline revealed Sam and Zara split following five years together on New Year's Day after the couple spent the festive season apart. Zara had grown especially close to her ex-boyfriend's family given Louise, her fiancé Ryan and son Leo, three, live next door to Sam in west London. The former Love Island star turned documentary maker was first spotted with singer Louis in March and the couple have since holidayed together in Los Angeles and Costa Rica. Sam and Louis both played in this month's Soccer Aid despite obvious tensions around their dating lives. Footage of Louis appearing to snub Sam circulated on TikTok after the former boy band star grimaced and ignored the Chelsea favourite once the match had ended. After achieving his UNICEF challenge, Sam reflected: 'I have never been so low but also so high at the same time... One of the things that I will say is that mentally I don't think there was a better time for me to do that. 'On Thursday, I left a lot on that road, I left a lot there and it was one of the most mentally freeing times I've ever had in my entire life. 'We rode and ran for the longest duration, all the way down the Welsh border and we finished in Liverpool, you know I'm a bit of a talker, but it was so hard, you just had to channel something. 'I left a lot of the year that I've had on that road, and I didn't speak for an hour and a half. I was riding the bike while crying for an hour and a half just tears streaming down my face just riding like I have never ridden before. 'I have never felt so emotionally depleted but also at peace.'

Love Island All Stars Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson Feud LOVE Island's Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson locked horns in the All Stars villa - yet what's the situation? Samie Elishi told how she had confronted Grace Jackson at The BRITs after the ITV2 alum claimed she was the "snakiest" in the villa. It came after the pair had tried to avoid each other when partying with the same friends. Samie 's arrival in the Love Island spin-off this year sparked issues between Grace and partner Luca Bish, 25. Samie entered the ITV2 compound and proceeded to blow up the villa's strongest couple as she admitted to fancying Brighton lad Luca, before whisking him off on a date. Stirring up the drama further after her arrival, Samie promptly referred to the secret DMs she shared with Luca in the real world. Yet the pair felt no connection and Samie was swiftly dumped from the villa days later. Grace was then said to have revealed her "true feelings" about Samie as she appeared to smirk during her eviction. While the pair didn't share their relationship on social media, Sam did praise Samie on his podcast, Staying Relevant with pal Pete Wicks. Grilled by his best mate, he was relatively tight-lipped but said: "What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously." Samie, meanwhile, opened up about the romance last month during an appearance on the We Talk To The Dead podcast. Last week, The Sun exclusively revealed the pair had decided to go their separate ways weeks after first being spotted together on a cosy date. A source close to the former couple said: "It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them. "They both just have really busy schedules, particularly Sam who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They're still good mates. "It's a shame but sometimes things just don't work out." Hints of trouble between the pair were first raised after Sam was cagey when quizzed about Samie while promoting his Soccer Aid challenge for Unicef earlier this month. Asked if she would be there to support him, Sam told MailOnline: "I feel like… this is so much more than who I'm dating or hooking up with. "And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean?" Sam began dating Samie after splitting with Zara McDermott late last year. 6 6 6
