‘We’ve got a visitor!’ Geordie Shore’s Sophie Kasaei appears to flout lockdown rules as she invites her dad over to her home to help her make rice

Sophie Kasaei appeared to flout the UK’s coronavirus lockdown rules as she invited her dad over to her home.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the Geordie Shore star, 30, revealed Keivan visited her abode to help her make a traditional Iranian dish.

‘We’ve got a visitor!’, the media personality said as her father came through the door with a bag of Anjoman Rice before he prepared food.

The Newcastle native seemed pleased to see the chef after spending time apart, with the brunette shouting with delight: ‘Middle Eastern rice! 

‘Dad has come over to show us how to make this rice, this is called Tah Dig, this is the best ever. And then here, it’s not very Persian, we got this curry made with greek yoghurt and curry powder.’ 

It is unclear whether the pair were two metres apart from each other during their meeting, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Brits can visit a grandparent, a girlfriend or a boyfriend from outside their household if they maintain a distance and remain outdoors.

The social distancing rule states people, excluding those who live together, should stay 2m (6ft 6in) apart from other people in a bid to tackle the deadly virus.

The nation has had to avoid meeting up with loved ones since March 16, a week before the full lockdown came in on March 23. 

The TV star recently moved into her South Tyneside home, while her doting parent still owns Mambo Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar in South Shields.

MailOnline has contacted Sophie’s representatives for further comment.

Earlier this week, Sophie shared an honest YouTube video with followers discussing how comparing herself to others affected her mental health. 

In her first ever upload, the brave star told fans that ‘since isolating’ she has had time to reflect on true happiness.

The Off The Rails Boutique owner described how starting out on the reality show made her try and be someone she was not and said ‘deep down’ she was ‘fighting a losing battle.’ 

Addressing her fans, she said: ‘I think growing up and being in the industry young I had a lot of pressure to be like other people, I really compared myself to others so much.

‘I always thought everyone was better than me I always made excuses I thought I’d just settle and be less.   

‘That’s the mindset I had for a while and as I have got older I’ve realised that it is not the mindset to be having.

‘As I’ve got older, I’ve realised you don’t need to be competitive with people, there is no reason to be competitive with people around you.’

Sophie shot to fame on Geordie Shore in 2011 when she was 21 and appeared on seven seasons on the show.
