Oh dear.
If you’ve seen the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix, you’ll have no doubt seen the famous pigs in the Bahamas.
The commercial for the ill-fated Fyre Festival included a scene of models swimming and playing with Bahamian hogs at “Pig Beach”, and social media influencers are fans of producing similar shots for their social channels.
Step forward Instagram fitness model Michelle Lewin, who found out the hard way that far away hills are often greener when she tried to tick this particular thing off her bucket list.
As she posed in her bikini with feral pigs on the beach on Big Major Cay Island, one of the pigs decided enough was enough of these outsiders coming up for selfies, and proceeded to bite her on the arse.

Supermodel Chanel Iman, who swam with them during a photo shoot for Fyre Festival has previously spoken about how the cute little creatures are not to be trifled with.
“I don’t like going to that island to see those pigs, cause they really, really will bite you,” Iman told People.com about shooting on Great Exuma island.
“If you see the Hulu documentary I am like running, I am jumping in the boat because I don’t want anything to do with getting bit or getting hurt by the pigs.”
Best not to turn your back on them it seems…
