Chloe Ferry, Helen Briggs, and Myles Barnett all promoted advice service Debt Slayers to their millions of followers.....

Three reality TV stars have had their Instagram posts banned after they failed to reveal that they were paid advertisements. Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry, 25, Helen Briggs, 25, from Ex On The Beach, and Towie's Myles Barnett, 27, have more than four million followers between them. They all posted on the social media platform promoting advice service Debt Slayers earlier this year or late last year. But the Advertising Standards Authority ruled they had not made it clear that they were being paid to advertise the company. Ferry had written in January: "If you know someone who is over £5000+ in debt this is a new fully regulated scheme that can help you write off 85 per cent of the debt", before providing a link to Debt Slayers.

Ashteck Media trades as Debt Slayers and said it had "informal agreements" with the three TV stars to produce the Instagram posts. The only service provided by Debt Slayers was to pass details on to a third party and the company said that anyone who contacted them as a result of the posts was made aware of the risks and fees associated with IVAs
