Jesy Nelson’s latest Instagram post appears to have been removed amid a furious backlash to her new gun tattoo.

The Little Mix star was slammed by fans after revealing her newest ink on her ribcage on Tuesday night.

The post, which was the second picture in a series of two snaps, has now disappeared from Nelson’s official Instagram page.

Morgan, who has been feuding with the star for weeks, said: “It’s a gun, isn’t that great as gun crime in this country begins to tick up as gun crime in other countries like America rages.

“So many people are getting shot to pieces and of course, the best thing for a young woman to do as a role model to millions of impressionable young girls is to tattoo a gun to her backside.

“And people wonder why I call these girls, Little Mix, irresponsible or stupid,” he added before realising it was actually on her ribcage.

He continued his tirade by posting the image on Twitter, writing: “So Jesy Nelson from @LittleMix has had a gun tattooed into her ribcage.

“What a dangerously deluded & dumb thing to do. And they wonder why I call them cynical & exploitative?”

Fans were similarly unimpressed with the singer’s new marking, branding her “disrespectful”.

One wrote: “Why oh why gen a gun? How disrespectful to anyone who’s lost someone through gun violence. It’s not cool in any way Jesy and it’s such a shame. WTF?”

Another said: “As a mum I know how impressionable kids are. They have a responsibility to be good roles models to their fans.”

A representative for Nelson declined to comment when contacted by Standard Online.

Morgan’s latest spat with Nelson comes weeks after he accused her and bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards of “using sex to sell music”.

The broadcaster slammed the band after they released a naked promo shot ahead of latest single Strip from their album LM5. Nelson later hit back by calling Morgan a "silly t***" on Radio 1.
