Emily Andre has criticised TV reality stars, claiming that they refused to follow social distancing rules during a birthday party.

The doctor aged 30 hit out at Courtney Green and her fellow The Only Way Is Essex stars who joined Courtney for her 25th birthday celebrations.

The reality TV stars posted about the party on their social media accounts.

Writing in her OK Magazine column Emily said: “Some of the TOWIE cast have been criticised for breaking social-distancing rules at a party for Courtney Green’s 25th birthday.

“It seems unfair because lots of people are breaking the rules, but unfortunately when you have so many social media followers it’s a bit more tricky.

“Whether or not you agree with the rules, when you’re in the public eye I think you have a duty to try and at least look like you’re socially distancing.”

“It’s probably not the best idea to post it all over social media for their young followers to see.”

A series of Instagram videos shared during Courtney's party, shows party guests including Yazmin Oukhellou, Chloe Meadows, Chloe Lewis and Amber Turner enjoying the event.

Courtney and her parents hosted a party at their Essex home, with a series of lavish additions including a full karaoke set-up, an ice-cream van and masses of booze.
