However, her latest £4,000 splurge seems to have backfired, after she got the time of her flight completely wrong.
Ranting about her situation on , Whitney, who used to be on but now cashes in six figures, explained that she had only realised what time her flight was, an hour and a half before leaving the house.
The single mum had planned on leaving her kids at home whilst she jetted off to Lanzarote for seven nights, but with so little time until the flight, she had no one to look after them.
“I didn’t realise the time because I’m just so stressed”, she said.
“Honestly, I don’t know what I’m going to do”.
The video quickly went viral, with Whitney, who despite her earnings, receiving backlash from many TikTok users.
“£4k on a holiday for yourself!
“That’s ludicrous. They saw you coming”, one person said.
“I couldn’t go on my own anywhere, I couldn’t leave my kids”, another person said.
“Think back to the days you struggled to pay bills and buy food. Gain some perspective…. then remember that we’re still in that situation.
“Give your head a wobble and be thankful you can be so flippant about booking a £4,000 holiday”, as third person chimed in.
“There’s people out there with actual problems”, a fourth person added.
Whitney then made a series of other videos where she revealed that she had tried to get her back from , but was forced to just book another flight instead.
“Lesson learned”, she said.
“I’ve got so many emotions right now, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry”.
In her final update, the single mum filmed herself driving to the airport for her solo trip, where she will be staying in the ‘adults only’ section of a plush hotel.
However, despite now being on the way to her “dream holiday”, which she plans to use to rest and recuperate after splitting from her partner Joel earlier this year, Whitney is still convinced that more things will go wrong.
“I’m feeling scared and nervous, I just feel like after everything that happened with my flight last night, everything’s going to go wrong”, she said.
This video received a much more positive reaction, with fans rushing to wish Whitney luck on her solo trip.
One person said: “Aww bless you, you’ll be fine once you on that plane.”
A second person said: “You will love it. I was married and with my ex for 20 years.
“I’ve been on two holidays since our split, and they have been perfect.”
