Zoe Hague Carries £7K Chanel Handbag to Gym After Bali Trip Controversy

Molly-Mae Hague’s sister Zoe toted a £7,000 Chanel handbag as she headed to the gym in Cheshire on Monday, weeks after causing a storm over her luxury Bali getaway. 

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 flew on a private jet to Disneyland Paris to celebrate her 26th birthday alongside Tommy, their daughter and some of her best friends.
