The post was branded 'insensitive'
Marks and Spencer have apologised for 'any unintentional hurt caused' by a now-deleted Instagram post shared as part of their Christmas campaign.
M&S said the image was an 'outtake' from their Christmas Clothing and Home advert, which was recorded in August. The full TV advert showed celebrities like actor Hannah Waddingham and Queer Eye star Tan France doing away with some Christmas traditions they don't enjoy, ranging from party hats to board games.
The caption read "This Christmas, do only what you love... like saying no to paper hats . @hannah_waddingham #LoveThismasNotThatmas." Replying to the post one commenter wrote: "This is absolutely vile you should be ashamed of yourselves." Another said: "How insensitive and provocative."
