Influencer mortified after sending content video to a brand without spotting embarrassing object in the background
AN INFLUENCER was left mortified after sending a video to a brand without spotting an embarrassing object on the shelf behind her.
Beauty whizz Abi was trying out a sun cream for a sponsored clip to send to the company, and filmed herself applying it to her skin as she talked through her first impressions.

But what she hadn't noticed was the wand-shaped device in the background of her video.
She was soon alerted to her mistake though, when she received an email from the brand.
"Hi Abi. Hope you are doing well. We are so excited that you're loving the SPF," the message began.
"The first draft looks great, however, we're going to have to ask you to refilm as there seems to be something on the shelf behind you that we can't advertise.
"We hope you found this as funny and we did in the office and aren't too disappointed about refilming!"
Abi then zoomed in on the item in question - showing that it was a sex toy.
"Don't talk to me about embarrassed until you've submitted content to a brand not realising there's a (sex) toy next to your head," she wrote over the top of the video.
And she added in the caption: "'We hope you found this as funny as we did in the office!' yeah ok!!!"
The comments section was immediately filled with people weighing in on Abi's mistake, with one writing: "HAHAH honestly they should have left it in, their engagement would have been popping off!"
"It would have been PR gold if they left it in actually!" another added.

"She's an icon. She's a legend. She is the moment," a third joked.
"I love how it is shelf worthy," someone else commented.
"AHHHHHH IM SCREAMING FOR YOU," another laughed.
"Not going to lie that is hilarious," someone else admitted.
While another asked: "I'm all for toys and not being embarrassed (and this is hilarious) but I just wanna know why it's on such a high shelf?
"I keep mine as close to the bed as possible for convenience!"
And some people even used the comments section to share their own epic sex toy fails.
"My in laws just helped my husband unpack into our new house. (I'm 9 months pregnant.) They unpacked not one but two toys!" one sighed.
"Want to hear one worse?" another added.
"I was in a car accident and submitted progression pics of my face to my attorney and the insurance company.. with my vibrator in the background!"
"I have handcuffs and a pink whip hanging on my wall…." a third wrote.
"My mum walked into my room and walked right back out!"

Bristol in Pictures: Bristol Sounds and Gromit Unleashed
While the eyes of the world may be on Glastonbury, the music has not stopped in our city, with Bristol Sounds welcoming large crowds to the harbourside this Unleashed 3 is almost here, and there is a glamorous new show at Bristol Old of music, there was a special Loyle Carner gig at the O2 academy on Wednesday night, and a Bristol orchestra has been given an award. Tuned in: Bristol Sounds has seen Supergrass, Kaiser Chiefs, Texas and Fratellis play on the harbourside. The annual week of concerts comes to an end with Olly Murs later. One more sleep: The 53 sculptures which will form the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail will be in place across the city on Monday. Aardman's Nick Park joined dozens of local school pupils to celebrate the imminent launch at an event on the Harbourside on Wednesday. "It's just going to light up Bristol for the summer," he said. Framed: Bristol Museum and Art Gallery staff took an empty frame up to the gorge to recreate the scene painted by JMW Turner when he was just 17 in 1792. A fundraising campaign is under way to raise the money needed to bring the artwork back to its home city. Midweek music: Loyle Carner performed a gig at the O2 Academy on Wednesday to O2 and Virgin Media customers. Here today, gone tomorrow: Bristol City Council says it will be removing the many "love locks" from Pero's Bridge before the harbour festival, saying they collectively weigh an estimated three tonnes. Sparkling: The family of Henry Cyril Paget, one of the world's wealthiest men, tried to destroy all traces of him after he died, erasing his diamond frocks, lilac-dyed poodles and unsuccessful plays from history. Luckily the show How to Win Against History, on at Bristol Old Vic until mid July, has revived his outrageous life story. Pilton pilgrims: Bristol feels the presence of the Glastonbury Festival, whether it be the many traders from the city who set up there, or the queue (above) to get the bus down to Pilton. Power of music: Bristol's own Dovetail Orchestra has been named the UK's first ever Orchestra of Sanctuary. The group was set up to be a welcoming place for asylum seekers and refugees, using music as a way of connecting people. Pretty in pink: Luke Jerram's latest eyecatching work saw the Bristol artist thread a 1km (0.6 miles) long piece of magenta ribbon around the exterior of the RWA for a piece called Negotiating Space. One team: Finance software company Xledger has announced it will once again support Bristol Bears Women as main and also front-of-shirt sponsor. It extends a relationship with Bristol Sport going back to 2019. Medical skills: A team of Ukrainian doctors has been visiting the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children this month, learning skills they can take back and use in their home country to help child victims of the ongoing conflict. Award winners: Bristol's St Peter's Hospice was named Outstanding Charity Retailer at the 2025 Charity Retail Association Awards. The hospice, which operates more than 40 shops across the city and wider area, was recognised for its strong community engagement and sustainable practices. It was all yellow: Pedestrians and cyclists have been celebrating as the crossing known as the Banana Bridge has reopened after more than £1.4m in repairs (and a nice new paint job).
