Love Island star Kaz Crossley was all smiles as she got stuck into work on Sunday days after reportedly being detained at a Abu Dhabi airport in transit for a flight to Thailand.
The cause of Crossley’s arrest is said to have been rooted in a video filmed in November 2020, when she was captured allegedly snorting a white substance at a party in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai.
But the 28-year-old seemed to be in high spirits towards the end of the weekend, when she was seen taking part in a beginner’s class at Combat Collective – Crossley’s Muay Thai fitness company.
In a photo shared on Combat Collective’s Instagram, the former reality star kneeled in front of a group of women with her boxing glove-clad fist in the air.
She was decked out in workout gear and beamed from ear to ear.
It comes after Crossley released a short statement after news of her apparent arrest went public, writing on social media on Friday: ‘I am safe, thank you for all your kind messages.’

‘I want to take some time to reflect before I comment on the past few days.
‘Grateful for so much right now. We are so blessed…,’ she added.
According to The Sun, Crossley wasn’t permitted to call her family when she was detained, with a source saying: ‘She was looking forward to getting back to Thailand where she has been doing voluntary work and all of a sudden she is languishing in a Dubai jail.’
On the British government’s website, it outlines the UAE has ‘zero tolerance for drugs-related offences’.
‘Possession of even the smallest amount of illegal drugs can lead to a minimum three-month prison term or a fine not less than AED 20,000 [£4,561] and not exceeding AED100,000 [£22,805],’ it states.
A Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement sent to Metro.co.uk: ‘We are providing consular assistance to a British national who was arrested in the United Arab Emirates and are in contact with the local authorities.’
Crossley starred on Love Island five years ago, joining the show as a new contestant when Casa Amor was introduced.
She coupled up with Josh Denzel, with the pair reaching the final.
