Marks and Spencer forced to respond as lingerie model flooded with body shaming comments over her size

Marks and Spencer (M&S) has sent a stern warning to customers after a picture of one of its lingerie models was subject to major backlash. M&S was forced to remind its followers that it will not tolerate hateful comments, when a photograph of one model wearing the brand's bra and knickers saw an influx of body shaming comments.

The backlash started when Marks and Spencer shared a photograph of the gorgeous model posing in its Boutique Linea white-mix plunge bra and matching thong on Instagram. In other pictures, the model could be seen wearing other pieces from M&S' lingerie collection.

But Marks and Spencer was forced to step in after it noticed several people complaining that the model was 'too slim'. Others moaned that they wanted to see a bigger model who represented more 'realistic' beauty standards.
