Leeds people fuming at burger boss after his 'offensive' Madeleine McCann advert for Mother's Day

People across the country are reacting to the news that a burger joint has been banned from using pictures of Madeleine McCann which they used to advertise the company.

The Otley Burger Company in Leeds has been banned from using pictures of the young girl who disappeared in 2007 after the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) received three complaints reporting the post as 'likely to cause serious or widespread offence and distress.'

This comes after founder Joe Scholey posted images of Madeleine and her mum Kate McCann on his business' social media accounts on Mother’s Day (March 27) captioned: "With burgers this good, you’ll leave your kids at home. What’s the worst that could happen [sic] Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there.”
