A number of women have been using #curryscentedbitch to share photos on social media, with model Tris Dhaliwal tweeting:
Alongside a set of similar pictures, singer Bambi tweeted: “Oops @AZEALIABANKS another proud #curryscentedbitch right here.”
While @coconutxqueen went with: “#curryscentedbitch and harry’s lovin it.”

Although Banks has now apologised for her remarks, Rinse FM have cancelled her headline appearance at Born & Bred, and she is under investigation by the Home Office and could still be banned from the UK.
