"A fun little reel about my fella having the emotional capabilities of a slipper is considered to be 'hate speech'?
"Yet there are children being bullied to the point of suicide? Professionally athletes being racially abused and young women being cyber stalked to the point where they don't feel safe in their own homes that you supposedly can't do anything about?
"But THIS is a big priority? You need to address your priorities."
Vicky went on to post on her grid about the experience, with an image and caption that has now been deleted by Instagram.

"It was just a laugh and if it was maybe a bit too close to home, try listening to your birds once in a while."
Showing how the follow-up post had also been deleted, she concluded: "Instagram has removed THAT post now as well."
Her famous friends hit out at the decision, including Ulrika Jonsson, who had penned under the post: "Absolute f**king JOKE."

Vicky wrote: "I'm just going to leave this here because I feel like over the last couple of days some people on social media have forgotten how to behave.
"You might not be British, or a royalist, or particularly patriotic, but before the queen was absolutely anything else, she was a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother… and I can't believe people don't think she deserves our respect."
