Gemma Collins weight-loss drug advert banned

The ASA banned nine weight-loss drug ads this week, including one with Gemma Collins, for promoting prescription-only medications unlawfully.
Under UK advertising laws, the ASA banned around 1,800 online ads promoting prescription-only weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro after a January review found illegal promotions.
Beyond Collins' case, eight healthcare firms including CheqUp and pharmacyonline.co.uk had their ads banned across platforms like Instagram and Meta for promoting prescription-only weight-loss medications illegally.
Following the ASA’s recent bans, Yazen Health has been warned not to promote prescription-only weight-loss drugs, setting a clear industry enforcement precedent.
Regulators have issued a joint Enforcement Notice with MHRA and GPhC, with CMA powers to investigate and fine ongoing illegal health ads, signaling intensified oversight.
