Bikini-clad Francesca Allen dances away her woes in racy video

Francesca Allen did not let news of Dubai’s travel corridor removal get her down as she shared a sexy new video on Instagram on Monday. 

The Love Island star, 25, sizzled in a racy blue bikini as she danced playfully while preening and posing for her 515,000 followers to enjoy. 

The video comes as it was revealed that travellers returning to the UK from the UAE will have to quarantine following a 52 per cent surge in the number of COVID -19 cases there – an undoubted shock for the influencer-packed city.

Francesca has been documenting her Dubai break in forensic detail as she has been living it with her Love Island co-stars Joanna Chimonides and Georgia Steel. 

While they have partied, pandemic news has been rumbling at home as earlier this week, it was revealed that new rules will require international travellers to come back negative after a PCR test before arriving in England will come into force from Friday.

From 4am on January 15, passengers arriving by boat, train or plane – including UK nationals – will have to take a test up to 72 hours before leaving the country.

They will need to present proof of a negative test result – using a PCR test or on some occasions a LAMP or lateral flow test – to their carrier on boarding while the UK Border Force will conduct spot checks on arrivals.

New arrivals who flout the rules will face a minimum £500 fine, while the operator who transported them will also be fined.

Passengers will still have to quarantine for 10 days regardless of their test results, transport minister Robert Courts said in a statement.

British nationals attempting to return home who test positive must not travel and must follow the local guidance in their host country, and contact the nearest consulate if they need support.

It comes as travellers returning to the UK from the UAE will have to quarantine following a 52 per cent surge in the number of Covid-19 cases there.

Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al-Quwain, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah have been added to the UK’s quarantine list – meaning social media stars at the Middle Eastern holiday hotspot will need to self-isolate for 10 days.

Transport minister Mr Courts said: ‘If a passenger arrives in England without a pre-departure negative test result they will be fined.

‘We will amend the International Travel Regulations so that fines, starting at £500, can be levied on non-compliant passengers.’

Travellers will have to take an internationally approved test, and Mr Courts said guidance on what was acceptable would be made available to passengers and carriers.

‘We will keep test standards and innovative testing technologies under review,’ he said.
