Model Erin O’Connor has shared her anger after Instagram allegedly removed a photograph showing her at eight and a half months pregnant, which the star shared to mark Mother’s Day.

The fashion industry legend posted the black and white shot, which was taken by photographer Nick Knight in 2014, on her social media account earlier this month, to celebrate “all those who continue to nurture, support, love & protect children (close to home & across the world) in every way, shape & form”. The photo has since been reinstated on the platform, albeit with a warning that the post “contains content that some people may find upsetting”.
