She’s a Lottie like her big sister Kate

Uproar in the Bahamas as Moss junior and her ‘downright lewd’ posse prove...

SHE has followed her supermodel sister Kate Moss onto the catwalk – now it seems young Lottie is following her into a life of hedonism, too.

The 20-year-old saw in the New Year partying hard in the Bahamas with a group who sparked outrage among locals when their celebratio­ns turned raucous.

Island residents complained of loud music, debauched behaviour and nudity – and claim pristine beaches were left strewn with litter as the party, which started on highend yachts, spread on to land and stretched out for several days.

One wrote online: ‘I have no problem with getting a little crazy and having fun. I do, however, have a problem with getting downright lewd on a family island, forcing local folks to go home early. I also have a problem with leaving the establishm­ent you partied at covered with garbage and the beach covered with heaps of waste.’ The resident claimed the detritus left on the Abaco islands included shoes, discarded costumes, and hundreds of plastic cups, straws, and bottles. ‘There was a tremendous amount of trash floating out into the harbour at 6am the next morning,’ she wrote. ‘And you could still hear music thumping from their boats. These people treated the island shamefully.’ Another local claimed that the revellers had caused damage at one resort, adding that ‘their nudity/minimal clothing’ caused some guests to ‘cancel their stays rather than put up with the group’.

Lottie, who posted glamorous images from her break on Instagram, took her holiday with British-based Bucketlust, which rents luxury yachts. Director Guy Bottomley confirmed Lottie was a paying guest and said: ‘I wouldn’t say the party was out of control but I would definitely say there was a lot of debauchery. It was a higher class of people than Club 18-30.

‘There are always locals who are going to grumble at whatever they see, even if it’s beautiful people playing on the beach wearing smaller bikinis than usual. I am sure if it was a serious issue, we would have heard from the police. There was a bit of mess but technicall­y the venues are paid to clean up the beaches.’
