Katie Price's high fashion ad BANNED for ‘objectifying and sexualising women'
AN ad for clothing brand Diesel featuring Katie Price was irresponsible and likely to cause serious offence by objectifying and sexualising women, a watchdog has ruled.
The ad in question included an image of Katie wearing a bikini and holding a handbag in front of her chest.

She appeared as part of the clothing giant's SS2025 collection.
Katie stripped off to a tiny denim bikini for the shoot as she showed off her body tattoos.
Her boyfriend JJ Slater also starred in the Diesel campaign, posing as a waxer in a chaotic salon.
But the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 13 complaints that the ad objectified and sexualised women and featured a model who appeared to be unhealthily thin.
The advert was shown all around the world to over 100 countries with Katie appearing skinny and dressed in a glittering bikini while holding up a Diesel handbag to cover her stomach.
It was first featured on the Guardian website on 26 March this year and then shared widely across social media, including on Katie's own accounts.
Diesel said the ad was part of a brand campaign called 'The Houseguests', which was designed to challenge stereotypes and support diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry by reflecting a wide range of body types.
They argued it showed Katie in 'an active and dynamic pose where she proudly showed off her body and the handbag."
Diesel added she "was well-known for her exaggerated appearance and larger-than-life personality and her large lips and breasts formed part of her curated public image. That exaggerated, eccentric and altered appearance formed part of the creativity of the campaign.'
They believed the image was a "celebration of Katie's sexuality and empowerment and was not objectifying, degrading or sexualising" and further stated that Katie "was slender, she had excellent muscle tone and was not unhealthily underweight".
Katie Price's £10k facelift looks tighter than ever in new video as fans say 'that looks painful!'
Partly upholding the complaints, the ASA said the bikini only partially covered Price's breasts, and it considered the positioning of the handbag, in front of her stomach with the handle framing her chest, drew viewers' attention to, and emphasised, that part of her body.
The ruling from the ASA said: "While we acknowledged that Ms Price was shown in a confident and self-assured pose and in control, we considered that because of the positioning of the handbag, which had the effect of emphasising and drawing attention to her breasts, the ad sexualised her in a way that objectified her.
"We therefore considered the ad was likely to cause serious offence, was irresponsible and breached the Code."
However, the ASA did not uphold complaints about Katie appearing to be unhealthily thin, and concluded that the ad was not irresponsible on that basis.
They said: "Her hair had been styled away from her face in a beehive style, in such a way as to elongate her face and her head was slightly tilted downwards which added to that effect, but we did not consider she appeared gaunt.
"None of her bones were obviously protruding."
The watchdog ruled that the ad must not appear again, adding: "We told Diesel to ensure their future ads were socially responsible and did not cause serious or widespread offence."

The former glamour model, 47, has spent a HUGE amount of money over the years on cosmetic procedures - leaving some fans worried.

She revealed she'd had filler added to her bottom. Addressing fans, the TV star said: "So the bum is done! Here's a little sneaky, beaky, boopky!" - she then went onto to show how round her behind looked now. Her latest "tweakment" comes after fans were "left concerned" when she showed off a "painfully" tight face this week. Many have begged her to stop getting work done. Katie has previously been warned she is "dicing with death" with her surgery habits. It came after she revealed her plans for a fourth BBL operation. Standing for Brazilian Butt Lift, the procedure entails injecting fat from other parts of the body into the bottom to give a more rounded or lifted look. According to Dr Gerard Lambe, one of the UK's leading plastic surgeons and head of Reflect Clinic UK, the star has major factors to consider. Dr Lambe told New Magazine: 'Katie needs to be aware that she is putting her health and body under extreme pressure with the now countless number of procedures she's had done in the last year alone. "BBL is one of the most dangerous surgeries anyone can undergo and it has the highest mortality rate – it's one of Katie's riskiest surgeries yet. She is dicing with death." FACELIFT WOES Meanwhile, the TV star recently opted for tweakments abroad after being unhappy with her latest £10,000 facelift. Katie Price looks barely recognisable on supermarket visit as concerned fans claim her teeth are too big for her face Sources close to the star claimed she was less than impressed with her 'pixie ears' following the procedure. At the time, Closer Magazine reported: "Katie is heading to Turkey for her first New Year's procedure: fixing her pixie ears. 'She thinks they need correcting after her recent facelift. She's having her ears removed, then re-stitched in place and pinned back so that they don't stick out." Back in January, the mum-of-five took to Snapchat to share the gruesome photos, showing the sides of her face and cheeks all taped up. Katie confessed on Snapchat: "From my last surgery, there are just a few little bits that I want tweaking. 'Well, they need tweaking. So here I am getting ready. "That's the worst bit for me, the needle. "The needle's done so now I can relax."

Twix advert banned after complaints it promoted dangerous driving
Twix advert banned after complaints it promoted dangerous driving The advert shows a man in a car embarking on a high-speed chase with a pursuer, before swerving off the road and tumbling down a hill Twix TV advert banned after complaints it encouraged dangerous driving (Image: Twix/YouTube ) A TV advert for the popular chocolate bar, Twix, has been banned following objections that it promotes reckless driving. The advert, titled Two is More Than One, showcases a 70s-inspired car chase featuring a long-haired man in a caramel-coloured vehicle navigating through a rugged terrain with winding roads. After noticing another driver tailing him via his rear view mirror, he accelerates before yanking the handbrake, veering off to the right side of the road and rolling sideways through a metal barrier. Despite the dramatic tumble down the hill, the driver remains unfazed as the car comes to a halt, landing on an identical vehicle at the bottom of the hill. The two cars are depicted stacked roof-to-roof, with the same man seemingly occupying both vehicles. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter The Twix bar from the top driver falls through the sunroof into the hands of the driver below, and they both shift the gear stick on the ground level car and drive off. Two cars end up roof to roof, and drive away together. (Image: Twix/YouTube ) The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) received five complaints alleging that the advert was irresponsible and encouraged dangerous driving, reports the Express. Article continues below Mars-Wrigley, the confectionery giant that owns Twix, defended the advert by stating it "was set in a separate world that was absurd, fantastical and removed from reality," and they ensured that the acts depicted in the sequence "would be impossible to recreate", according to Sky News. The firm, which also owns brands such as Maltesers and M&Ms, stated that the cars "were shot driving at lawful speeds and any emulation would only reflect the legal and safe driving presented". Mars-Wrigley also pointed out that the advert embodied the playful and absurd humour that the Twix brand is renowned for. Clearcast, the non-profit organisation that approves adverts before they are broadcast in the UK, informed the watchdog that the style of the video made it clear to viewers that the actions depicted were not intended to be replicated, and said the ad did not suggest "safe driving was boring," according to BBC News. However, despite acknowledging that the video featured "some clearly fantastical elements," the watchdog decided to uphold the complaints, stating in its ruling that the ads "must not appear again in their current form". "We considered the road was clearly realistic," the ASA stated. "The scenes were depicted as a chase with the emphasis on speed. In addition, the first man was then shown putting the handbrake on and the car swerved off the road leaving visible skid marks. "We considered the emphasis on a chase, and the speed inherent to that, and the driving manoeuvres featured would be dangerous and irresponsible if emulated in real life on a public highway." In its ruling, the ASA instructed Mars-Wrigley "not to condone or encourage irresponsible driving that was likely to breach the legal requirements of the Highway Code in their ads." A spokesperson for Mars Wrigley UK stated: "We always take pride in maintaining high standards across all our communications and every advert we produce is submitted for approval through the appropriate review channels. Article continues below "In our view, this particular advert adopts a fantastical tone that is neither realistic nor intended to be imitated. "Nonetheless, we take our responsibility as an advertiser seriously and never intended to cause any offence or concern, so we are reviewing the ruling carefully in order to work collaboratively towards a resolution."
