Love Island fans are not happy with Kaz Crossley over 'shocking' Instagram post
Followers were quick to brand the star 'cruel' and 'insensitive'
Love Island 2018 star Kaz Crossley has come under fire from fans following a recent Instagram post branded 'cruel' and 'insensitive.'
Kaz, who split from ex-boyfriend Josh Denzel in January, posted a controversial snap from her holiday in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, which followers have deemed 'disgusting.'
Alongside the obligatory bikini beach shot we've come to expect from former Islanders, Kaz shared a photo of an 'innocent' crab she inadvertently had killed for an Instagram post before claiming it was simply the '#circleoflife.'
Upsetting animal lovers, Kaz took a crab from the sand in which it was camouflaged and placed it on a dark rock 'for the gram'.
With the crab obviously no longer camouflaged into its surroundings, a monkey then spotted the creature and proceeded to eat it, something Kaz caught on camera and uploaded to her account.
The star said, 'This little bay might be my favourite place on earth, this pic was taken in my most recent trip to phi phi however I discovered it exactly a year ago with some friends and fell in love. So I had to come back!
'So when I was there last year we found a beautiful crab camouflaged in the sand and placed it on a dark rock and got a beautiful picture! (SWIPE) however we really did not think it through as someone else came to join the party😢 keep swiping 🤦🏽♀️ We are sorry little one 🦀 🙏🏼 #circleoflife' sic.
