The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has banned an Instagram story from one of the stars of Channel 4 reality show Made In Chelsea for the second time this year. Louise Thompson was reprimanded earlier in 2018 for not correctly marking a sponsored post for a watch brand. The latest ban follows her posting a video using a facial brush product by beauty brand Vanity Planet. A spokesperson for ASA said: “While we are aware that some people may find it offensive to use products endorsed on social media, we have received complaints about the image and will be looking into it. Vanity Planet is rewording its contracts to avoid the uncertainty that Thompson claimed confused the issue.
