Her outing comes after she became the latest in a string of celebs who have been forced to delete an Instagram post following an upheld complaint.
Molly-Mae has been accused of not clearly identifying a promotional social media snap by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), reports the BBC.
The now-deleted photo posted on September 26 showed Molly-Mae wearing a coat alongside the caption: ‘A/W, I’m ready [brown leaf emoji]’.

In the disputed image, Molly-Mae posed wearing clothes from online retailer PrettyLittleThing (PLT), a brand for which she is an ambassador for.
Both PLT and Molly-Mae claimed that the post showed her genuine support for the brand and wasn’t apart of her contractual agreement.
Although the fashion favourite argued the post had been shared ‘organically’, the ASA have ruled that the post should not appear in its current form again.

According to the website, Molly-Mae’s contract with the brand states that her posts have to be clearly identifiable as PLT promotion to her millions of followers.
Although Molly-Mae had clearly tagged PrettyLittleThing in the post, the ASA insisted she must use words such as ‘#ad’ in the future to make it more transparent.
Other celebrities who have previously also had to delete posts following ASA rulings include Millie Mackintosh, Olivia Buckland and Louise Thompson.
A representative for Molly Mae declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
MailOnline have contacted the ASA for comment.
