She posed up a storm on the beach in Barbados, as the sun set on the horizon behind her, draping a dog-tooth print cardigan over her arms.  

The brunette beauty opted for no make-up and wore her hair in a straight style, which she tucked behind her ears and left hanging down her back.  

In the caption, she urged her followers to think positively, saying: ‘Our thoughts and the way we think direct our whole life.

‘So let’s think positive, think of things that make us happy and appreciate the smaller things that we have in our lives.

‘I know it’s a really difficult time for everyone in the UK and I completely understand everyone’s frustrations. 

‘Just to clarify, I’m not in Dubai, I travelled to Barbados with my family before the UK lockdown (before Christmas) and made the decision to stay due to the new restrictions in the UK.

‘I posted a Story when I first got out of quarantine to assess whether you guys felt comfortable with me posting (which I’ll put on the next slide). 

‘If that’s changed I do understand and I’ll put a question box on this Story too as I want to hear from you and what your opinions are.’

Montana revealed she already had plans to travel and shoot content for her swimwear brand, Swim Society, this year. She also assured her Instagram followers that she valued their opinion. 

She added: ‘As a business, we did have a content trip planned for January for Swim Society and I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that due to the restrictions, so that influenced my decision to stay [in Barbados]. 

‘I want to post uplifting content as I know it’s a really awful and uncertain time however, I also don’t want to be insensitive to what people are going through.

‘It’s a hard thing to manage and I really don’t want to upset anyone or for people to think I don’t care what’s going on’. (sic)

The former Love Island star wrote: ‘Just to let everyone know, I am not in the UK. I left a couple of days ago to join my family after receiving a negative Covid test. 

‘It’s been a tough year for everyone and I understand everyone’s circumstances are different. But mentally, I needed to be around my family and loved ones at this time. 

‘Let me know if you guys are happy for me to Story/post. I don’t want to seem insensitive to everything that is going on. I know it’s a really tough time for everyone.’ (sic)
