Pregnant Love Island star Montana Brown was left fearing for her safety after claiming she was tracked by an AirTag.
The 27-year-old, expecting her first child with her boyfriend Mark O'Connor, says discovered the device in her bag when she was landing after flying alone to see friends in LA, California.
She said she discovered the issue when a notification popped up on her iPhone saying an AirTag was travelling with her.
Her partner advised her advised her to check her bags and she found the Apple product which has been slipped into her luggage.
She told Good Morning Britain: “So as soon as I got through security, I was kind of brushing it off at this point: ‘Oh, it was probably nothing.’
“And it was only until I went to the toilet and kind of emptied everything out my bag that it was at the bottom of my bag so that was really alarming because I genuinely had no idea that somebody was even that close to me to be able to put it into my bag.”
Montana added: “I kind of panicked and just flushed it down the toilet because I was in the toilet anyway and I just thought because I was so kind of spooked and I was really surprised that I actually found anything.”
She claims her iPhone notification said that the AirTag started being read shortly before she got on her flight to the US.
She added: “That’s the first time I’ve been on my own, really, and felt very unsafe and I just wanted to kind of get out of the airport as quickly as possible.
“But it definitely was a shocking experience because you kind of like go down a rabbit hole of: ‘What would they then have done next, and what would they have tracked my location for?'”
When asked if it had made her more aware of her belongings, she said: “Absolutely, I still am really baffled how someone managed to literally (get) that close proximity without me noticing.”
The reality star, who has appeared on Celebrity Mastermind, Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls and CelebAbility, was on series three of Love Island.
In 2017, she saw the competition won by entrepreneur Kem Cetinay and actress Amber Davies.
She announced her pregnancy with partner Mark O’Connor in December.
Apple has been contacted for a comment.
