Chloe Ferry is facing online embarrassment after sharing an image on social media that fans are convinced has been digitally tampered with.
The 27-year-old Geordie Shore star was soaking up the sunshine in a white bikini and posing alongside fellow celeb Wayne Lineker, 61, while in Ibiza.
The two reality stars posed for a snap outside the boujee nightclub Ocean Beach Club on the Balearic island over the weekend.
And not ones to miss out on showing off their enviable lifestyles, the stars shared the photographic evidence of themselves striking up a pose by sharing it via Instagram.
Chloe uploaded the image to her own Instagram page with the caption: “What’s the point in going to Ibiza if you don’t get a picture with @waynelineker” - along with a flame emoji.
The snap in question showed Chloe hiding behind a giant pair of sunglasses while dressed in her bikini and with a light, white coloured pashmina wrapped around her thighs.
Wayne was in a complementary style, wearing a white shirt, white coloured trousers and a pair of white trainers.
The pair were posed up agains the Ocean Beach Club logo - which was pinned against a wall made of wooden planks.
And it was the wooden background that made fans question if Chloe had digitally altered her image, and she quickly found herself being accused of committing a ‘photoshop fail’.
Fans realised that the wood closest to Chloe in the image looked distorted and was suspiciously wobbly compared the the rigid, straight planks of wood that could be seen elsewhere in the photo.

This provoked outcry as fans accused her of editing the image to make herself look thinner.
One concerned fan wrote: “Chloe you look amazing, but please do not Photoshop your photos. Young girls follow you and you aren't representing a genuine version of yourself. There's no need to do this.”
Another questioned: “Do you not have anyone that reviews your photos before you post them? Photoshop skills are at 0.”
Another wrote: “First rule of photoshop… don’t stand next to straight lines.”
Many fans defended Chloe after she received a raft of cruel comments over her photo.
One of the more sympathetic fans wrote: “Does everyone forget she was once the young girl bullied for how she looked and yet people are still bullying her for how she looks let the girl live her life.”
Another, highlighting the hypocrisy of the negative comments, wrote: “Imagine being one of those people that feel the need to pull someone apart on social media then wonder why she feels the need to Photoshop her photo.”
And another wrote: “Don't understand why people have to come on and tear someone down on social media, when in reality would never say something so brutal to a strangers face in the street.
" If someone uses photoshop or a filter maybe like myself have insecurities and the poison on social media just shows where the insecurities come from, so judgemental! Bring a girl up rather than pulling them down!!”
But others accused Chloe of being a bad role model by creating unrealistic beauty standards that.
One fan hit out, writing: “For the people saying don’t understand why people say negative stuff ect ! Just stop and think what she is doing to young women and their mind sets ! she is photoshopping her photo to be so skinny for the girls who look up to her is not showing a good example AT ALL!! Women struggle with their mindset when comes to weight as it is we don’t need celebs adding to that."
