Restaurant condemns 'cheeky' requests from former Love Islanders who want free food

A restaurant has branded some former Love Islanders and social media influencers 'cheeky' as they pester the business to get free food- they've said they will out the next person who tries their luck.

The owners of Viet Shack in Manchester shared a post on their social media pages where they blasted the 'full and semi blue Instagram ticks, influencers, and public figures' and asked followers to consider how the current economic climate is affecting small businesses before they request their freebies.

They claim they receive dozens of messages a week from these celebrities and influencers who ask for free food in exchange for giving the restaurant some exposure on their social media pages.
