Strictly Come Dancing stars Adam Peaty and Tom Fletcher have been banned from Instagram for sharing naked fake tan snaps.
Olympic medal-winning swimmer Adam and McFly singer Tom shared a hilarious snap of them stripped down getting a spray tan to prepare for the upcoming dancing series.
Tom preserved Adam’s modesty with a strategically placed hand and some clever use of camera angles, while Adam grinned in the background.
But Instagram clearly did not find the image amusing as it took the photo down and banned the pair for “sexual activity”.
Instagram sent a strongly-worded message, writing: “Your photo was removed. We removed your photo because it goes against our Community Guidelines on nudity or sexual activity.”

Adam took the actioning in his stride, sharing a screenshot of the message along with a crying-with-laughter emoji joking: ”Great, removed for sexual activity!”
Adam added: “Mad how Instagram get to decide what I upload and what I don’t. Community guidelines should be your community.
The swimmer also shared the image on Twitter and wrote: “It’s @bbcstrictly time! Hope this doesn’t get removed this time.”

Meanwhile Tom posted a comical image of himself holding up the black thong that he had to don alongside Adam for their respective spray tans.
He quipped: “The Strictly spray tans have begun…and yes, I wore these @bbcstrictly”.
It wasn’t just Tom and Adam who took to social media to share their spray tan preparations, as so was fellow contestant John Whaite.

John is set to star as one half of Strictly’s first all-male same sex couple.
He showed off his spray tan, sharing a risqué snap of himself pulling his thong down to expose the tan line on his hip.
Alongside the snap, the former Great British Bake Off champion wrote: “I came prepared and brought my own thong for the strictly spray tan.
“Nat and Marie made this boy feel at home while they scrubbed me and sprayed me in the shade of Venetian Plus.”
Tom, Adam and John are three of the 15 new celebs preparing to star in the new series of the BBC show, which launches next Saturday, September 18.
