The so-called ‘air hostess’ seen partying with Jack Grealish in Ibiza’s Blue Marlin club actually has her feet firmly on the ground running a takeaway food business, MailOnline can reveal.
Dolly Middleton, 24, was mistaken for BA cabin crew because of a snap in her social media showing her dressed up in the airline’s uniform, but in fact she has owned and run various food businesses in her home city of Portsmouth, according to her social media.
Wearing a bikini with a large white sun hat, Dolly was sitting next to England and Manchester City star Grealish at the packed nightclub as the crowd gyrated to the booming music.
At one point Grealish stroked her leg and she had her hand on his shoulder as the dancing continued.
Yesterday, Grealish’s fiancée Sasha Attwood – herself holidaying in Italy – posted a photo of herself in a stunning red dress on Instagram, perhaps to remind the treble-winner where his loyalties lie.
But according to Dolly’s social media, she’s a fully fledged business woman in her own right.
On her LinkedIn page, she’s described as still working full-time for recruitment consultant Blackfield Associates as a talent specialist, suggesting her food business might be a ‘side gig’.
In the past, she has run Portsmouth restaurant Zetties, as well as takeaway food businesses Pasta Agogo and That’s a Wrap, according to her Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
She says on Linkedin that she’s been: ‘managing front of house, customers and staff,’ along with ‘social media marketing, business development and customer relations.
‘The business has been built from scratch three years ago with the opening of a second restaurant in March 2020.’
But Zetties appears to have closed as its Instagram page, website and phone number are now out of service or deleted.
Its accounts are also overdue, according to the Companies House website.
The last few reviews on TripAdvisor weren’t encouraging.
‘Unprofessional and slow’ said one, awarding two out of five stars and ‘wanting in many area’ said another in May 2022.
Dolly was awarded a first class degree in business and management at Portsmouth University in 2021 and in 2019 worked in a summer job for five months at Ibiza’s O Beach club.
But Dolly has also dabbled in a hair extension consultancy, and set up Salon 57 Ltd a year ago, of which she is the sole director.
Dolly’s Ibiza trip is alongside her best mate and ‘sis’ Safiya Jervis, who was also director of her own hairdressing and beauty business in Portsmouth called Lash Love, until it was dissolved in May 2023.
