LOUISE Thompson has edited an Instagram post where she came under for her “inappropriate and disrespectful” tribute to Remembrance Day.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 30, posted an excerpt from a World War I poem remembering fallen soldiers, alongside two photos of herself lapping up the sun on her Maldives holiday.

Called ‘For The Fallen’, the poem was written in 1914 by Lauren Binyon and was chosen to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I on a series of Royal Mail stamps.
She posted parts of the famous poem with photos of her by the beach in a dark blue mini dress, striped heel sandals and a bag that read “happy days”.
It did not take long for people to start saying it was in “bad taste” and she deleted the poem and replaced it with a blue butterfly emoji.
The poem’s excerpt read: “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.”

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.”
Louise added: “Thanks for sacrificing so much for our freedom.”
Her followers were not happy at her commemorative post, labelling it “completely inappropriate and disrespectful”.
Another Instagram user wrote: “I’m a fan but not right sentiment.”
And a third added: “If she felt it was appropriate why did she delete it?.”

But some of her 1.2mil followers defended Louise.
One fan said: “I think the caption and sentiment behind it is she has the freedom to travel and live the life she wants too because of the sacrifices made by the war heroes. If she wants to put a pic on of her holiday then why not? It’s remembrance Sunday, people can remember, reflect etc how ever they like or indeed choose not to!”
Louise is on the loved-up getaway with her fiancé, Ryan Libbey, after recently hinting they’d split up.
Tweets from Louise last month had people wondering whether her engagement to Ryan was off after the pair have been engaged for two years.

On September 3, Louise Tweeted: “Cheaters always want you to be loyal while they’re being unfaithful.”
A week later she then posted: “I’m proud of my heart. It’s been played, stabbed, cheated, burned and broken… somehow still works.”
She had also penned this: “Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.”
However, on Instagram she’s been posting stories including Ryan which had fans baffled.

Louise hasn’t made any statements to address the questions sparked by her comments on cheating.
A source close to her told The Sun they’re still together though, and apparently the Tweets were aimed at “someone else”.

Ryan and Louise were originally due to marry in December 2019 but cancelled the wedding to take more time to work on their relationship.
Louise found fame through Made In Chelsea, though she now focuses on her fitness career, while Ryan is also working in the fitness industry.
