Nadia's presence on the photo-sharing app will be sorely missed by her celebrity friends and fans. The TV star has been keeping fans entertained in recent weeks with a number of hilarious posts - but has also been using her platform to vent her frustrations about recent events.
Last week, Nadia pranked her 452k followers with a video that appeared to show her breaking down in tears as she discussed "compromise" in her marriage to Mark Adderley. While many believed she was being genuine, it turned out Nadia was really talking about watching the Euros 2020 with her husband!

The light-hearted clip came days after Nadia posted an emotional and expletive-ridden video in response to the news that Matt Hancock had broken Covid-19 guidelines and struck up a romance during lockdown with his aide Gina Coladangelo.
She criticised the former Health Secretary's actions, telling her followers that her "heart had broken" for all the fellow parents and families who have been forced to stay apart from each other since the pandemic began.
