Oh, Coachella, the home of bralettes, braids… and blisters, according to Love Island star Montana Brown.

Speaking to fans on her Instagram, Brown spoke out about the realities of attending the California-based festival, admitting it isn’t all as glitzy and glamorous as social media may make it seem.

“Can I just say for all you out there wondering whether to save up the dollar bills and buy a ticket to Coachella I need to address some things,” she said in a post published to her account on Monday.

“YES I took some nice pics and the acts were AMAZING,” she added, “but I also had blisters from my shoes, you have to walk like an hour from the Uber drop off to the festival itself, it smelt like gerbils and I bought some loaded fries for about £20.”

Brown continued: “Then at the end of all that when you finally get to the cab… you gotta pick sand and dust out your hair and nostrils.”
