The star had flown out to Vietnam to film for a new TV show that will be broadcast on Channel 4, and she decided to relax with a luxurious face mask. However, she later explained to followers that she had suffered an allergic reaction because of her treatment, and as she was in a quarantine hotel, she was a little bit nervous about how she might treat herself to relieve the symptoms.

Sharing some clips on her Instagram Stories, she said: "New year, new show, new allergic reaction. Yes, I had an allergic reaction to one of me face masks whilst travelling. My face is burning, it's itchy, it's dry, it's just the worst sensation ever."

She added: "Can't pop to my Boots, don't think they've got a Boots over here, but even if they did can't pop to Boots, so I think I need to order some ice and take my hay fever tablets."
The former Big Brother's Bit on the Side presenter then said she'd try to "ignore" it, but pleaded with fans to send over some allergy advice information.
The star was dismayed
AJ took to her Stories later in the day to share with her followers that she had gotten some relief with some "calamine lotion" and "Antihistamines."

What an amazing person you are," one wrote, whilst another remarked: "Tour definitely will not be the same without you AJ but your constant support for Kai and all your friends is honestly so admirable."
