Nicola Adams and girlfriend Ella Baig flee Tier 4 for work trip in the Maldives

Nicola Adams and her girlfriend Ella Baig have fled the tough coronavrius restrictions in Britain for the sunshine in the Maldives.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 38, documented her journey to and around the airport as they waited to board their flight.

She also took snaps of their first class seats, before Ella, 22, later posed in her bikini by the pool at their lavish water villa.

Under Tier 4 rules, which most of the country is now living under, travel abroad is banned unless for legally permitted reasons, which includes work trips.

On the way to the airport, Nicola clarified that it is a work trip.

"We out. Strictly business. Isn't that right, Ella?" she said in the back of their car.

When they got to the airport, Nicola was surprised at how empty it was.

"The airport is dead today, dead!" she said.
