Back in February an advert for Adidas caused a bit of a stir – it featured dozens of sets of bare breasts to promote the diversity of their new range of sports bras. That advert has now been banned in the UK after a number of people complained that the ads' use of nudity was gratuitous and that it objectified women by sexualizing's them and “reducing them to body parts."

Clare shared her own thoughts on the banning of the advert, she was also joined by Lauren Higgs is the co-founder of female-led creative agency Good As Gold and listeners who were in touch with the show.
