The clip featured influencer Jessie Yendle, from Pontypridd, who has always lived with a stammer and now has more than 3.5 million subscribers on TikTok after spending years raising awareness around speech impediments.

In the video, she is shown struggling to pronounce a sound as she stammers with the repetition, then it transitions into a dance track with a range of KFC products being shown on screen.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Jessie said the video, which she said was seen more than four million times before it was deleted, “breaks my heart”.
