EastEnders star Sid Owen and Hollyoaks’ Emma Rigby accused of breaking Tier 2 lockdown rules at raunchy packed party
EASTENDERS star Sid Owen and Hollyoaks actress Emma Rigby have been accused of breaking Tier 2 lockdown rules at a raunchy packed party.
The pair were spotted enjoying a wild night at a multi-million-pound apartment overlooking London's Tower Bridge in an Instagram video that has since been deleted.
Dozens of revellers took over the Air BnB pad on Saturday night - hours after Boris Johnson revealed plans for a second national lockdown.
Guests at the raunchy high society party, including a slew of bankers and property execs, were entertained by scantily clad models dancing on tables.
Pictures obtained by showed Emma, 31, who was dressed in a sheer bodystocking, and Sid, 48, enjoying themselves at the bash which was hosted by US erotica magazine Treats.
A witness told the publication: "No-one could quite believe what they were seeing and they were hardly discreet about holding the event.
"When people found out they were very annoyed, especially with lots of people strictly obeying coronavirus rules at the moment.
"The party was also attended by a throng of public school attendees that work in property, banking and events. This party is disgraceful given the current economic and social climate we are in."
A spokesman for Treats said company parties allow up to 30 people so no rules were broken and guests were tested as they went in.
The Sun has contacted reps for Sid and Emma.
Under Tier 2 lockdown restrictions, people are prohibited from socialising with anybody outside their household or support bubble in any indoor setting to curb coronavirus.
Boris Johnson unveiled the three tier system levels of medium, high and very high on October 12.
London moved into Tier 2 in response to a continuing rise in coronavirus cases in households and communities across the city.
Sid and Emma's flouting of the rules comes after the PM announced a tough one-month nationwide lockdown after local restrictions failed to sufficiently reduce infections.
It will come into place on Thursday November 5 and remain for four weeks, ending on Wednesday December 2.
Non-essential businesses will shut, people will be banned from meeting others and everyone will be ordered again to work from home.
People in England will only be allowed to leave their home for education, if they can't work from home, exercise, volunteering, medical reasons, shop for food and essentials and caring to the vulnerable.
Sid and Emma aren't the only celebs to break Tier 2 rules as Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry was also caught at a party with her pal Bethan Kershaw.
Chloe was fined £10,000 for breaking quarantine rules last month.
