Strictly stars Adam Peaty & Tom Fletcher BANNED from Instagram for ‘sexual activity’ after stripping naked for spray tan
STRICTLY Come Dancing stars Adam Peaty and Tom Fletcher have been slapped with an Instagram ban “for sexual activity” after stripping naked for a spray tan.
The new series of the BBC One dance show kicks off next week, and the celebrity contestants documented the rite of passage of getting a golden glow ahead of filming.
However, Instagram ruled that one of the saucy snaps broke guidelines – with Olympic swimmer Adam sharing his shock after they removed the post from his page.
In the pic, Adam is peeking out of the pop-up spray tan booth, appearing to be completely naked at first glance as he beams at the camera.
If you look closely, you can see that the hunk is wearing a thin thong, but co-star Tom is also preserving his modesty with a raised hand.
Tom is the one snapping the pic, also leaning out of his booth, which is next to Adam’s, and both men wearing hairnets.
Adam posted the pic to his Instagram grid, and shared a screenshot of the “violation” message he’d received soon after.
It read: “Your photo was removed. We removed your photo because it goes against our Community Guidelines on nudity or sexual activity.”

The star added a crying-with-laughter emoji as he wrote: “Great, removed for sexual activity!”
Adam added: “Mad how Instagram get to decide what I upload and what I don’t. Community guidelines should be your community.”
He later shared the same photo to his Twitter page, writing: “It’s @bbcstrictly time! Hope this doesn’t get removed this time.”
Meanwhile, Tom posted a more PG selfie to his Instagram page, clearly wearing boxers as he held up the used, disposable thong to the camera.
Pulling a face as he shows off his rippling muscles in the topless snap, the McFly singer wrote: “The Strictly spray tans have begun…and yes, I wore these

Celebrity chef John Whaite also documented his tan, sharing a Boomerang clip of himself pulling down his Calvin Klein thong to reveal the impressive tan line.
He captioned the post: “I came prepared and brought my own thong for the strictly spray tan… Nat and Marie made this boy feel at home while they scrubbed me and sprayed me in the shade of Venetian Plus.”
John will make Strictly history as the first male celeb to be in a same-sex dance partnership, although which professional dancer he will be paired with remains unknown.
All will be revealed during next week’s launch show, with other celebs taking part this series including Judi Love, Katie McGlynn, and Dan Walker.
