A Scottish woman has learned the hard way never to apply fake tan before a sweaty gym session .

Eve Mallon, from Falkirk , suffered a serious fake tan fail when she lathered self-tanning lotion onto her legs before pulling on her leggings for a work out.

But instead of coming out of the gym feeling sun-kissed, glowing and ready to hit the town, Eve ended up looking like a walking advert for Adidas with the trademark logo branded on her legs.

"That's the last time a work out with tan on btw ahahah", Eve tweeted alongside the hilarious snap of her tan in a post which has been retweeted over 4.5k times and liked 42.5k times.

And it seems the fake tan fanatic has been given the seal of approval from Adidas, who replied to Eve's post commenting: "We’d say it’s fate. Way to rep the Three Stripes, Eve. We see you."

It turns out Eve isn't the only person to fall foul of the unfortunate tanning faux pas.

Fellow Twitter users joined in on the social media conversation to share similar snaps.

Eden Chicken posted a picture of her legging logo fail with the caption, "hahahaha same".

Eilidhsills13 tweeted: "Omg it's happening everywhere", while gracemaylerigo_ commented "Omg that used to happen to me all the time".
