Mark Wright apologies for 'poor taste' post about planes after Air India crash
The Air India flight to Gatwick, which was carrying 242 passengers, including 53 British nationals, crashed just moments after take off in the northwestern Indian state of Gujarat.
On the same day, Mark, 38, posted a picture of himself with his wife Michelle Keegan and their daughter posing in front of a private jet.
Writing beneath it, Mark said: '1 day babe, for now we'll take row 26 with no extra leg room,' as he complained about standard planes.
Underneath the original post several followers claimed it was 'not appropriate', with one writing: 'Prob not the best day to post this when so many people lost their lives on a plane,' the MailOnline reported.
Moments later, the former Only Way is Essex reality star removed the post from his page.
He then explained in a story: 'I apologise for a post I just put up on my page after today's heartbreaking events. More Trending
'I have posts from a holiday that are on the scheduled setting, which go out on future days I have set them for which was done last week. It's a horrendous coincidence that today's post was on such a devastating day.
'Once I logged in to my Instagram and realised the post had gone out, I immediately deleted. My heart goes out to everyone who has been effected from today. I'm sorry for this mistake and any offence caused.'

The pair have been joined by Kate's 22-year-old model daughter Lila. It came after Kate posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently Kate's wellness brand Cosmoss went bust with debts topping £2.9million. Later in July she was seen partying among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival. Meanwhile Kate's daughter Lila has been promoting the new Diabetes Type 1 Barbie doll. Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks. Lila, 22, said: 'Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me. 'To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.'

Yasmin misunderstood the question and thought it was about who she would pick and she wrote Dejon on her board. Later she confessed this to a bewildered Jamie who became clearly upset. In tonight's episode Jamie sat with a couple of the boys and said: "This doesn't go outside of misinterpreted the question and she said Dejon." He continued: "I am a little caught of guard because she is acting like she hates him. "Even in the challenge the other day always oh Meg and Dejon, Meg and Dejon. "Why is she obsessed with him bro? Know what I mean. "Like that is weird." Fans of the show were quick to comment and one wrote: "Yasmin & Jamie I'm gonna need you to just hold it together!! The final is on Monday." Another added: "I completely understand Jamie's confusion, but I think him and Yas just need to have another conversation and it'll all get worked out." Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final "Yas and Jamie need to sort it out asap! stressing me out," said another fan. Tempers also flared when the Islanders were asked "Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?" Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon and Meg said to Shakira, 'I think if people were honest in the first place. "And told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story.' An emotional Shakira became annoyed at Meg and accused her of being fake and acting like they are mates. She said: "I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg replied: 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake.' Shakira then told her she will never pretend to be her mate. Meg interrupted: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.'
