The FA has pulled a joint campaign with M&S Food which starred British rapper and YouTuber Yung Filly, following his arrest for rape and sexual assault in Australia.
He featured in the first video in the series on ‘freestyle cooking’ which aimed to encourage young people to cook and eat more healthily.
Footballers Bukayo Saka, Ezri Konsa and Jarrod Bowen were all due to star in the following episodes of the series, but the FA has now confirmed to Sky News that it has removed the video.

M&S has no endorsement with the rapper and YouTuber.
Yung Filly, who has appeared on shows such as The Great Celebrity Bake Off, has more than 3.2 million followers across both TikTok and Instagram, and 18 million subscribers on YouTube.
The 29-year-old, who is accused of assaulting a woman in her 20s in his Perth hotel room, is still under investigation and has been granted conditional bail.
Yung Filly also recently appeared in a video for Heinz, as part of the launch of a new secret sauce collaboration with retailer German Doner Kebab.
The now-controversial star has also appeared in a video for Gymshark.
