Millie Bobby Brown might be recognisable but her online accounts aren't, she's revealed.

The actress, 20, found fame for playing Eleven in the Netflix sci-fi series, Stranger Things which saw her nominated for two Emmy Awards - but she goes out of her way to hide her online identity. During an appearance on a new podcast, the British-born star has revealed that she has a string of burner accounts which she often uses to complain, rather than putting her famous name to the furious comments.

Millie revealed that she once used her secret accounts to criticise a hotel that asked her and her fiancé Jake Bongiovi to make a payment before they checked out of the luxury retreat.

Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware on their Table Manners podcast, she was asked whether she leaves reviews of places she has visited and she confessed, that she does. "I have a fake name," she told the songstress and her mum, adding: "I think it's important, you know.

"Here's the thing, my whole life is people criticising me, so I'm going to give it back to you sometimes. Once, we were at a hotel, and the woman was pulling my fiancé aside like 'We need to settle payment' or whatever, and I was just like 'Yeah, we will but at the end of our stay, we're still staying here', and she was just like 'Yeah but you could settle it now.'"

Millie added: "But I was like 'I don't want to'," discussing her review, she added: "It was just, I really think that you should encourage guests to complete transaction of payment at the end of their stay!" Recalling another complaint she issued, the star said: "I was walking in a store and this old lady came up to me and was like 'Do you know where the socks are?'

"I think she thought I worked there and I was like 'I don't, but I'm going to help you', I went and found an employee, I said 'Excuse me, I need this pattern but I need it in this size, can you help me?' She was so unhelpful and I was like 'Please, this isn't even for me.' So I left a review, I did, ok, I'm a Karen and I don't want to say it. I do think it's important to know what went wrong and always room for improvement."

Fans have since flocked to the comments section of the podcast to share their views, with one writing: "As someone who works in hospitality, I actually like all reviews as how can we improve without bad ones? I'm with Millie." A second penned: "I love this! I do this and it’s so true! When I got to a restaurant and the cutlery is dirty!"
