Former ITV Coronation Street star Arianna Ajtar claims paps poked fun at her weight on Ibiza holiday with Love Island's Mary Bedford

Former Corrie star Arianna Ajtar has hit out at paparazzi who tried to snap pictures of her and her friends whilst enjoying a holiday in Ibiza. The Bolton-born actress, who played model Olivia Radfield on ITV's Coronation Street, claims that one paparazzi stuck her middle finger up at her whilst another mocked her weight.

The brunette beauty is currently on holiday in Ibiza with her reality star friends which include Love Island's Mary Bedford from season 7 and Ellie Brown from series 4.

Whilst in the sunny destination, the friendship group hired out a yacht to celebrate Mary's 23rd birthday which was decorated with white and gold balloons to match the Love Island star's glitzy gold beach dress.

But during their trip out at sea, Arianna claims that paparazzi followed their every move and as the girls refused to get pictures, the paps poked fun at their weight and called her 'fat'.

She shared a video of one camerawoman sticking her middle figure up at her, whilst another video exposed a cameraman mocking her size.

Alongside the videos, Arianna shared the story with her 445,000 followers on Instagram. She wrote: "Never known such nasty people in my life. The woman stuck her finger up at us when the cameras on our phones were pointed at her and she got a taste of her own medicine.

"The back story of the pap sticking her middle figure up at us yesterday were that they literally followed us on speed boats for 8 hours and then were waiting at the port for us, calling us fat because we wouldn't get in our bikinis for pictures.

"We just wanted to live our best lives for the day."
