Former Love Island star Zara McDermott faced an alarming incident on Christmas Eve, leaving her shocked as she spoke out about being spat on during her holiday shopping.
The 28-year-old was out with her brother's girlfriend on the busy streets of London when the unwelcome encounter occurred. "Guys, me and Alice are actually really shocked at what just happened. We were just getting some last minute Christmas bits...and this guy out of nowhere runs up to us, spits on us. Thankfully it just missed because of the wind and then walked off in the other direction," Zara shared with her Instagram followers.
The incident has stirred feelings of exasperation and concern over public safety, especially as McDermott noted the frequency of such incidents among women in the area. Documenting her experience, she remarked, "I can't believe it...what is wrong with people?" Following this, she reflected on how she might have felt more vulnerable had she been alone during the assault.
This distressing event came on the heels of her recent rekindled romance with boyfriend Sam Thompson, who had been filming I'm A Celebrity's spin-off show abroad. Still, the episode underscored the hazardous dynamics of being recognized as a public figure.
Meanwhile, Molly-Mae Hague has opened up about feeling emotionally vulnerable this Christmas as she celebrates the festive season as a single mother after her surprise split from fiancé Tommy Fury. The Love Island alum expressed her struggles candidly with her fans, noting how this season has triggered complex feelings she had not faced before.
On her YouTube channel, the 25-year-old said, "I don't really know why – well I do know why actually, but I just have found the last few days quite challenging mentally." Feeling under pressure to maintain festive cheer, Hague admitted, "It's so sad when people say Christmas brings up emotions...I've never really felt this way at Christmas." Despite acknowledging her blessings, she still said the holiday felt hard this year.
For Hague, the challenge was compounded by balancing the demands of being present for her daughter Bambi without Tommy, stating she felt disconnected during family celebrations. Her honest reflections resonate with many who can understand how the holiday season can prompt reminders of past relationships and personal challenges.
