Love Island AU: Shelby Mills says January 26 party was not celebrating Australia Day
The Defiant Love Island star insists he is NOT celebrating Australia Day, before joining all his mates in a pool party with Australian flags: “Anyone who comes near me will be blocked”
A former Love Island star told her haters to back off after attending a wild pool party on January 26, which she insisted was not an “Australia Day party.”
Shelby ‘Bilby’ Mills spent her holidays partying with her friends at a luxurious Gold Coast beachfront home, while downplaying the event as just ‘drinks around a pool’.
The 29-year-old preempted criticism from Invasion Day activists by sharing a post on Instagram insisting she wasn’t “celebrating” anything.

“Guys… just because I’m having drinks around a pool (which I do almost every day) doesn’t mean I’m celebrating ‘Australia Day/Invasion Day,'” he wrote.
‘All my friends have the day off, so let’s go have a few drinks by the pool. Anyone who comes to me with your s**t will be blocked.”
Over the next few hours, Shelby posted a plethora of photos and videos from the party, which was attended by dozens of bikini-clad women.
Guests were seen lounging by the pool, drinking beers and lighting up the barbecue.

The decision to celebrate or boycott Australia Day has become a hot topic in recent years, especially among younger and more socially conscious Australians.
This is because January 26 marks the date in 1788 that the First Fleet arrived at Sydney Cove, marking the beginning of the British colonial era, and is considered a day of mourning for indigenous peoples.

Shelby rose to fame on the first season of Love Island Australia in 2018, and is now a successful influencer and OnlyFans artist.
He bought a house in Burleigh Waters last year for $1,775,000.
It last sold in April 2011 for $760,000, and the model paid more than double that for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property nearly 11 years later.
