Lydia, who boasts 1.2 million followers on Instagram, often shares snippets of her life and style with her followers.

But it was a clip she shared to TiKTok last week that go people talking for all the wrong reasons.

In the video, which now has 3.1 million views, the influencer wears a fluffy dressing gown as she tells her followers she’s off to spend the night in a posh hotel because the heating isn’t working in her house.

“I’m heading down to London, I’m checking into The Savoy and I’m going to make full use of their wonderful hot water,” she says in the clip.

But the video left a bad taste in people’s mouths and she was slammed for being so out of touch.

A night in The Savoy can set you back £1,000 per night, so it’s no surprise that people couldn’t relate the the influencer, especially during the current cost of living crisis.

Viewers flooded the comments of the video poking fun at the influencer, while others seemed genuinely angered by her post.

One person wrote: “It’s giving let them eat cake.”

A second jabbed: “My tv is broken so I’ve hired a private jet to fly me to Qatar so I can watch the footie.”

“Money can’t buy class,” someone else wrote.

And one person shared how they’re dealing with a similar situation: “And here’s me, the heating’s off BECAUSE I CAN’T AFFORD TO PUT IT ON.”

In a now deleted comment, Lydia wrote: “My heart breaks too, it’s honestly heartbreaking.

“I just hope you know other people’s realities can be different and that’s not wrong x.”

But not everyone was so offended by the post and some viewers defended her pricey getaway.

“I don’t understand why people get so worked up about stuff, if she can afford it good for her.

“If I could I’d be doing the same.”
