'Love Island' star Gabby Allen faced a lot of flak on the internet for posting a picture of herself in a bikini on a beach in Dubai on Remembrance Day on Sunday.

The Sun reports that the star uploaded the picture at 11 am GMT, during the Remembrance Day service when the entire country was observing a two-minute silence to honour the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in conflicts and will mark 100 years since the end of the First World War.

Just as the silence began, Allen posted the picture of herself in a yellow thong and a lemon print bikini top while holidaying in Dubai, reports Daily Mail. The actress posed in what looked like a difficult split, her hair was tied in two braids enhancing her features. The caption read: "Life's pretty good and why wouldn't it be. I'm a pirate after all." But instead of admiring the picture, fans were quick to call out her blatant disrespect for such a solemn occasion.
