A former The Apprentice contestant who uploaded a video of his back garden sing-along has been branded 'selfish' by angry social media users.
Lewis Ellis shared a clip of himself miming to Adele's Someone Like You, before panning to the grass in front to show five 'friends' joining in.
With the government banning people from seeing anyone outside of their household - including friends and family - during the coronavirus lockdown, Lewis received backlash on social media for 'breaking the rules'.
Thankfully, the video isn't at all what it first appears to be - which was spotted by a few other astute viewers.
Even though the clip was created to bring a bit of light relief to the situation, and probably fill some of Lewis' time stuck inside, flouting the rules for real is no laughing matter. Please - stay home, protect the NHS and save lives.
Lewis created the video by editing different versions of himself onto the lawn, wearing a different outfit each time to make it appear his garden was full of guests.
It sparked anger with some, who hadn't spotted the camera trick, and were rightly frustrated by what appeared to be a small garden party.
One questioned: "Why should we all be sitting inside alone while you're out with your friends?"
Others almost did the same before realising what Lewis had done, with one replying: "Omg I was legit gonna kick off for you having your mates round hahaha awks."
A second commented: "I dread to think how long this took to film and edit together hahaha."
The clip, originally uploaded to TikTok, has racked up thousands of views on social media and Lewis said: "The videos were only put together to make people smile and have something to laugh about. I’ve made a good few so far but that was the one that everyone fell for."
He said it was mad people believed he and his friends would break the lockdown 'just to sit in the garden and sing Adele'.
Lewis added: "Since posting it people have started making requests for a new videos, with the next one being a Tiger King video."
