MARK Wright has been slammed for sharing an insensitive post about flying - on the day of the tragic Air India crash.
The former Towie star, 38, posted a snap of himself, wife Michelle Keegan and baby Palma posing in front of a private plane, as he moaned about the leg room on standard jets.
Appearing completely oblivious to the day’s events, Mark wrote alongside it: “1 day babe, for now we’ll take row 26 with no extra leg room.”
His followers were quick to point out his lack of sensitivity, with one person commenting: “Prob not the best day to post this when so many people lost their lives on a plane.”
A second said: “Not really appropriate to put this up after today's plane crash.”
While a third wrote: “Poor taste given today’s event.”
And a fourth added: “What a time to choose to post this.”
Radio DJ Mark has since deleted the post and blamed it on an admin error.
He wrote: "I apologise for a post I just put up on my page after today's heartbreaking events.
"I have posts from a holiday that are on the scheduled setting, which go out on future days I have set them for which was done last week. It's a horrendous coincidence that today's post was on such a devastating day.
"Once I logged in to my Instagram and realised the post had gone out, I immediately deleted. My heart goes out to everyone who has been effected from today. I'm sorry for this mistake and any offence caused."
Mark had been enjoying a break in Spain with his daughter and extended family.
Second-by-second breakdown of Air India jet disaster from mayday call to horror crash – all within a minute of takeoff
Earlier today it was revealed that an Air India plane burst into a fireball while carrying 242 people, including 53 Brits, flying to London Gatwick airport.
A British man miraculously survived the crash after jumping off the flaming jet and was filmed walking away from the wreckage.
At least 265 people have been killed - including those on the plane and on the ground.
According to flight tracking website Flightradar, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner's final signal was received just seconds after take-off.
This was last logged at 1:38pm local time - less than a minute after it started the journey.
King Charles II said he was "desperately shocked" by Thursday's air crash in India, sending "prayers and deepest possible sympathies" to the families of those affected.
"My wife and I have been desperately shocked by the terrible events in Ahmedabad this morning," the monarch wrote on Instagram, calling it a "heartbreaking and traumatic time".
