Joshua Ritchie breaks lockdown rules again to have 80 people over for a party

Joshua Ritchie has broken the lockdown rules yet again.

For the second time in just a few days, the former Love Island star invited a host of pals over to his home for a party during the bank holiday weekend.

On Saturday, Bolton native Josh, 26, flooded his Instagram Stories with snaps and videos of himself and his friends partying together.

He didn't acknowledge the fact that he had broken the rules of the government-imposed UK lockdown.

Now, people are allowed to meet one person from another household in a public place as long as they stay two metres away, but having people over at your home is still not allowed.

Those breaking the rules could face fines.

But that doesn't seem to have put Josh off.

A source tells Mirror Online Josh visited two different locations other than his home on Sunday, including his parents' home, where his family and friends came together to celebrate his niece's fifth birthday.

He then went round to a friend's apartment for a get together before heading back to his house for a huge party with a DJ and around 80 guests.

Josh posted a video of himself on his stories alongside the caption "Who's having it off tonight (party)."

He then shared clips of himself dancing to music alongside a number of friends.

While Josh didn't post heavily on his own account, Mirror Online has seen more videos posted by his friends that show a number of men and women crowded into his home and dancing while a DJ stands behind the decks.

In the videos, Josh and his pals also gather round to do shots together.

After his stint on Love Island, Josh dated former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby and they even moved in together, but split shortly afterwards.

After that, Josh attempted to find new love on E4 show Celebs Go Dating, which he had appeared on with Charlotte previously, with them receiving couples' counselling.

He's been spending lockdown in his bachelor pad.

Charlotte has moved on from the split and is now dating hunky videographer Liam Beaumont after they met through mutual friends on holiday.

Mirror Online has contacted Josh's representatives for comment.
