Their trip comes as Montana recently discussed the ‘horrible racist abuse’ that awaited her online when she left the Love Island villa in 2017, admitting she ‘struggled to eat from the stress and pressure’ of her newfound fame.
Speaking in an interview earlier this month, the media personality called the experience an ‘eye-opener’ and ‘learning curve’.

She told The Sun: ‘The online hate doesn’t make you feel nice. I would get the stereotypical N-word and they’d say that I am disgusting and didn’t deserve to be on the show.’
After leaving the villa and attempting to pursue a successful career as an influencer – Montana’s main revenue stream – the bombshell was on social media ’24/7′ which she described as being ‘a bad place for me’ and even lead to paranoia.
She explained: ‘I was on Instagram 24/7, to make sure people were speaking to me and sending me messages saying I looked good.
‘I was desperate for work to continue and for me to keep busy. But people are really mean. I had poor self-esteem when I was getting really badly skinny-shamed.’

She added: ‘I was definitely underweight as a result of my mental health. You’re only human and I was constantly trying to please my followers.’
Montana also told the outlet that she ‘loved’ the recent Instagram blackout, saying ‘it felt great’ to be able to put her phone down.
Montana used the interview to call for online accountability, noting that although social media users can report abusive comments, many escape accountability by using anonymous and fake accounts.
Elsewhere in the interview, Montana – who is in a relationship with business executive Mark – revealed she wants kids by the time she turns 30.
