A post shared 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 the glamour model and TV presenter making meals for herself throughout the day and talking about her efforts to lose weight.

At dinner, she went on to say: "Here I am, God look at that double chin, here’s why I’m on the Skinny Foods, Jesus, look at that double chin. Now, everyone knows I love a curry, so tonight, I am making a chicken tikka takeaway meal. The curry is low in sugar, high protein and only 189 calories."

The video ended with Katie having a post-dinner snack, saying: "Tonight I am having the Skinny Food chocoholic malt balls. They’re only 89
