John continued: "They are all seemingly gone off the website and off . It seems like my history's been expunged. And I don't know why. But I can hazard a guess."

He went on to say in the video: "I mean, let's face it, the Waitrose brand is very heavily centred on missionary vanilla and middle class guilt, isn't it? Yeah, moral panic is one of their values as well. So I guess ... I guess it speaks volumes."

John said: "If you're looking for one of my recipes or something that I make go to Ruff Puff Brownies or my ... I don't know where my recipes are these days, probably all been expunged. But if you're looking for an overpriced quiche or a sandwich that tastes like regret, pop to Waitrose."

The former star included a lengthy caption alongside the video message last week.

He wrote in the caption: "It seems Waitrose have diverted all my recipe links to similar recipes by other people - my work history with them ostensibly expunged. My catalogue of YouTube videos with them has also disappeared.

"It's like I never existed. No one at Waitrose informed me or told me why… I can only guess that it's because I do OnlyFans. So I'm sorry if you wanted to use one of my recipes and now cannot."

John concluded: "Look, I get my OF work doesn't align with their brand, and I would have accepted that had they treated me with an ounce of human respect, but to wipe out an entire collection of very hard work without any notice or chance to save the recipes first is an insult. #AlwaysPreferedAldiAnyway #BitternessIsInFor2025."

Approached for comment, a Waitrose spokesperson told this evening that it "regularly" reviews recipes on its website. They added that they are "very grateful" for the work John has previously done for the brand.
