A post on Katie Price’s Instagram account for a diet food firm has been banned for not being clear it was an advert, irresponsibly promoting a diet that fell below 800 calories a day and making unauthorised weight loss claims.

The Instagram reel for The Skinny Food Co, posted on August 20, featured glamour model and TV presenter Price making meals for herself throughout the day and talking about her efforts to lose weight.
