The 37-year-old dancer, whose full name is Rachel Gunn, went viral for her routine at the Place de la Concorde.

It included her jumping around like a kangaroo and pretending to be a snake and a sprinkler.

She was then subjected to mass trolling on social media, which caused her much distress.

It now appears that she will not be performing at the Olympics ever again.
