The UK has removed the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from its travel corridors list following a concerning increase in confirmed Covid-19 cases.
From Tuesday morning, travellers arriving into England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland from the UAE - which includes Dubai and Abu Dhabi - will need to self-isolate.
It comes after various UK celebs have faced criticism for travelling to the UAE during the pandemic.
Geordie Shore stars received backlash after they were seen partying in Dubai while England gets to grips with another national lockdown.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps made the announcement this evening on Twitter.
He posted: "The LATEST data indicates we need to immediately remove the #UAE from the #TRAVELCORRIDOR list. From 4am Tuesday, January 12, anyone arriving from the UAE will need to SELF-ISOLATE."
The Foreign Office tweeted tonight: "International travel is restricted.
"Stay at home.
"From 4am Tues 12 Jan travellers arriving into the UK from the United Arab Emirates will need to self-isolate on their return.
"Take Action Now."
Figures such as Chloe Ferry and Love Island stars like Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have all enjoyed a lavish getaway while coronavirus cases continue to rise across the UK.
Some of the stars have recently faced a barrage of online abuse as fans criticise their luxury getaways - some of which have been defended as work trips.
