Playboy model Dani Mathers has said sorry after making fun of a naked woman at her gym.

She posted the photo on Snapchat, which showed her laughing at an unsuspecting woman in the showers.

The caption said: "If I can't unsee this then you can't either."

But she was then hit with a wave of criticism, with people accusing her of body shaming. She's now apologised and deleted the image.

Unsurprisingly, people weren't that impressed, especially from a woman who's famous for her body. She was crowned Playmate of the Year in 2015.

The model then went into serious damage limitation mode, with the well-used "I didn't meant it" excuse. After deleting the picture, she went on Twitter.

"There is no excuse," she said.

"I understand fully the magnitude of this post that I have hurt a lot of people, women. Body shaming is not okay...and not something to joke about."
