Gemma Collins rapped for breaching ad rules with controversial weight loss jab posts

GEMMA Collins has been rapped for breaching ad rules by promoting a weight loss jab.

The reality star hailed injections by SkinnyJab this year.

But her post on Instagram did not make clear that it was an advert.

The Only Way Is Essex star posted the story in April mentioning SkinnyJab.

SkinnyJab was one of three firms criticised by The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for wrongly promoting prescription-only medicines.

It was also criticised by the ASA for making weight loss claims that were “not compatible with good medical and nutritional practice”.
