Adverts showing Katy Perry and Justin Bieber promoting acne treatment Proactiv products have been banned from British TV.
All of Proactiv's commercials have been taken off our airwaves and replaced by ones showing a less famous face - Gabriella Ellis from British reality TV show, Made In Chelsea.
Many are curious to know what the problem was with the US originals, and the answer is that they were "misleading", according to the Advertising Standards Authority.

Many are curious to know what the problem was with the US originals, and the answer is that they were "misleading", according to the Advertising Standards Authority.
They say that this is because they promoted an active ingredient which isn't even used in the UK version of the product.
It was ruled that the international version gave the impression that both Katy and Justin were "continued and regular users" of the North American product, not the one being sold on British shelves.
Gabriella's ad is now being shown in place of Katy's and Justin's.

This is the latest in a series of blows for Katy, who's divorce from Russell Brand was finalised last week. The singer may be facing court over accusations of 'indecent dancing.'
The bizarre claim has been made by K. Jebakumar, who is pursuing the case under the Indian Penal Code. Katy Perry has been accused of 'indecent dancing' with Bollywood star Anitabh Bachchan at the sporting event.
The hearing will take place on 31 July, 2012. The court is acting on claims by Jebakumar that the opening show of the Indian Premier League was 'obscene and lascivious, appealing to purient interest'.
