Former Made In Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock has said he is “truly sorry and mortified” after angering fans with an Instagram holiday selfie appearing to reference a Holocaust book.
The 32-year-old posted a snap of his vacation in Corfu on Wednesday in which he could be seen posing in blue and white striped trousers. The selfie was captioned “Boy in tha stripe pyjamas."
It was published as part of an Instagram Story - a format automatically deleted after 24 hours - and later disappeared from his feed.
The post sparked an outpouring of criticism after online users pointed out the apparent reference to John Boyne’s 2006 Holocaust novel, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
