British model Iskra Lawrence issues apology video after backlash over advertising cellulite cream

British model Iskra Lawrence has uploaded an apology video on social media after advertising cellulite cream. The 32-year-old fitness enthusiast and internet celebrity - well-known for her curvy physique - took to Instagram last night to tell her 5.4 million followers how "sorry" she is, adding that she 'no longer can be their role model'.

In the caption of the video, the Worcestershire-born star wrote: "I’m sorry. I will not profit from my mistake, [money] will be donated to National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA)."

It comes as Iskra just a day earlier posted a video of herself seemingly promoting a cream that can 'treat' cellulite. She added: "There will be a longer apology video on YouTube. In the mean time, I cannot be your role model - no one but you should be your role model because you already have everything you need inside of you to build your sense of self worth.
