Waitrose has cut a scene from its Christmas advert featuring two farmers comparing their tans following a complaint from a skin cancer charity
The minute-long advert, which features a backing track of Bing Crosby's version of 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas', shows real-life Waitrose suppliers as the previous Christmas ends and preparations for the next begin.
But the tan line comparison moment sparked a backlash on social media, with some saying that it was a"kick in the teeth" for melanoma patients.About 16,700 people a year are diagnosed with melanoma. Doctors believe exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun and sun beds to be one of the leading risk causes.
"This is a kick in the teeth for all melanoma patients and for all the organisations trying to educate everyone into the dangers of sun tans. What on earth were you thinking to include this in a Christmas advert? Words fail me."
