A Covid-infected makeup artist on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here began visiting vegan cafes, shops and pubs in Byron Bay an hour after she got off a flight from virus-addled Sydney - and police allege she didn't check in to a single one.
The 31-year-old was granted an exemption to travel from her home in ritzy Rushcutters Bay, in the city's eastern suburbs, to the northern NSW town at 7.30am on Saturday morning on Virgin flight 1141 for a weekend working on the Network 10 reality show.
Even though she was double-dosed and visiting an area with few restrictions, her exemption required her to follow Sydney's stay-home orders while she was not on set to prevent unvaccinated locals from catching Covid - rules she allegedly ignored.
About an hour after jumping off the plane, the makeup artist exposed everyone at local vegan eatery Combi to the virus between 9.45 and 10.15.

She then browsed the racks at Assembly Label - a clothing store with a sizable linen range - for about 20 minutes at 10.40, before popping into Orgasmic Food Byron Bay about an hour and a half later for a Mediterranean-inspired lunch.
The makeup artist left the falafel joint at 1pm and started a 50-minute drive up to her hotel in Kingscliff, but stopped for 15 minutes in at Casuarina Health and Lifestyle Pharmacy on the way.
She arrived at Peppers Salt Resort and Spa in Kingscliff at about 2.30 and waited at reception for about 20 minutes.
All five venues were listed as exposure sites by NSW Health on Tuesday, with health officials urging all patrons who shopped between those times to get swabbed and isolate until they return a negative test.

The woman went to Saltbean cafe (pictured) three times - twice on Sunday, and once on Monday
But the main venue of concern is Kingscliff's upmarket Salt Bar and Bistro, where she dined for almost two hours between 6.40 and 8pm on Saturday night.
Anyone who was at the restaurant, which can cater to about 280 guests at any one time, is now a close contact and has been ordered to get a test and isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result.
The following morning, the woman exposed patrons at Kingscliff's Saltbean cafe to Covid twice - once between 7.40 and 8, and again between 10.15 and 10.45.
She then returned to the cafe on Monday morning between 7.40 and 8am.
Police allege she did not use QR codes to check in the venues she visited.
