We’re sick of Love Island fans ruining our beautiful little village – we’ve got nowhere to park… it’s like Blackpool
RESIDENTS say they're sick of Love Island fans ruining their beautiful little village - claiming it's now like Blackpool.
Little Budworth in Cheshire has been flooded with tourists ever since Molly-Mae Hague posted snaps from its farm shop.
Now the village is overwhelmed - and locals say there is nowhere left to park.
One pensioner told The Sun: "Last weekend it was absolutely like Blackpool.
"The cars were rammed in and the extra parking was full up.
"It’s a rainy midweek Wednesday today and there isn’t a space in the car park.

"You used to be able to come in for a quiet cuppa and a bit of shopping.
"It’s gone mad of late – I don’t watch Love Island, so wouldn’t know any of them if they bumped into me, but there are lots of younger people around now.";
Local Beryl Linstow, 75, said: "I came to buy just one thing in the middle of the week - and there was only one spare chair in the entire coffee shop.
"I only wanted a coffee and it was a struggle to find the chair. All these younger people are turning up in cars."

Molly Mae sent The Hollies farm shop viral after posting pics of herself and baby Bambi inside.
