Ex On The Beach cast member Declan Doyle has slammed a hotel for its "disgusting" behaviour after they reportedly told him he needed to provided evidence he was related to his daughter.
The reality star has taken to social media to slam the incident that ruined their trip to the Dominican Republic.
Declan claimed that hotel staff became suspicious of their relationship due to the fact that he is white, whereas his daughter is mixed race.

Posting on his Instagram story, he wrote: "Disgusted by @riuhotels @tuiuk just had to prove my daughter is mine with our passports because we have "different skin colours".
He continued: "Even though we gave our passports on check-in, the hotel manager said she’s an underage girl with a man it’s odd, and we look like a couple, and we don’t look alike."
TUI have since moved the pair to a five-star hotel.
A statement issued to The Sun read: "We were extremely sad to hear about Declan’s experience at a RIU hotel. We have zero tolerance for discrimination and this staff member was clearly not meeting TUI’s high standards and expectations.
“Our on-site service delivery team have been in conversation with Declan to apologise to both him and his daughter for their experience. We immediately moved them from their 4-star hotel to an alternative 5-star resort where support is available for them.
“We will be investigating the incident, and our team are also getting in touch with Declan to advise him of what options available to him.”
Speaking to the publication, Declan explained: "It was so embarrassing because he asked us to go to the manager’s office, in front of a room full of people having their breakfast.
"When we got in to see the manager, there wasn’t even an apology; he was very hostile and said, ‘Can you give me your passports to prove she’s your daughter."

Declan also claimed that the manager told him that he was merely following hotel procedure and just “taking precautions."
The father added: “I had never been treated like that before at a hotel, and all of this being said in front of her was what made it worse.
“She doesn’t need to hear people questioning whether I’m her dad. She already knows we’re different skin colours, but for it to be brought to her attention is sickening."
