Lady Victoria Hervey has sparked outrage on Twitter after telling her followers she was ‘rocking the battered housewife look” after sustaining a nasty injury.
The former model is taking part in reality show The Jump, and suffered a nasty bruise whilst taking part in bob sleighing.
She later tweeted a picture of her arm, writing: “Rocking the battered housewife look. New war wounds from bobsleigh, can we please get an arnica sponsor asap!”
One follower responded: “The fact that you uploaded a picture of a bruise and claimed to be ‘rocking the battered housewife look’ disgusts me.
“Domestic violence isn’t funny or glamorous and it’s nothing to aspire to ‘rock’. What a vile thing to say.”
Victims counsellor Kel Ashley told The Mirror: “It’s just the sort of comment I'd expect the privileged elite to come out with.”
The training for the Channel 4 show has been taking place in Austria, and Lady Victoria, 38, is set to star alongside Joey Essex and Ashley Roberts in the winter sports competition.
Lady Victoria has since deleted the controversial tweet following public outrage.
