One model has recently been left "baffled" after her bikini photo was removed from Instagram.

Gabby Allen said that the picture, which features her showing off her toned body in a bikini, was banned from the platform, despite her having "zero boobs" because of training.

She has since reposted the picture, writing that she shouldn't be penalized by the social media website for her work as a personal trainer.

"I literally have [zero] boobs, I train & work so hard, compared to some of the stuff I see on Instagram I am baffled as to how this was reported,” she said, per News.com.au.

"I shouldn't be penalized for showing my physique as a PT."

However, since the reposting, it has once again been removed from the platform.

Prior to being removed, the model was inundated with supportive comments from fans who believed that the picture was wrongfully removed, and they too were cited by News.com.au prior to the second deletion of the picture.

"How does this get reported yet I see women in tiny underwear all the time or even wearing nothing showing off their curves and bodies and no one bats an eyelid," one fan wrote.

"This shows total dedication and hard work, focus and total commitment," another said.

"Your body is amazing and looks healthy you are an inspiration to everyone young and old," one person added.

Instagram deletes content that goes against their community guidelines, issuing users with a warning if they post inappropriate content.

"If you post something that goes against our guidelines again, your account may be deleted," Instagram's website reads, per the Verge, adding that users have the ability to appeal its moderation decisions.

Allen rose to fame on the 2017 series of the British dating show Love Island.

Since then has made a name for herself as a personal trainer, regularly sharing images of her own progress with her 1.1 million Instagram followers and through an app called FIT where she shares workouts that people can do at home.
