Louis Smith has found himself in hot water after appearing to mock Islam.

The Olympics star has been slammed after sharing a video of himself drunkenly pretending to pray with a friend.

The shocking footage, which also features fellow gymnast Luke Carson, sees Louis' pal shouting "Allahu Akbar".

Louis shot the video during a close pal's wedding party, and the pair both appear to have been hitting the bar.

The clip goes on to show Louis laughing and holding onto a drink while Carson rips a hanging rug off the wall.

A female friend then joins, and the gymnast makes yelling sounds as his friends pretend to pray in the background.

Louis then beings an indecipherable rant that starts: "60 virgins...."

When the female friend tells the pair their actions "are not funny," Louis responds: "Yes, it is!"

Fans rushed to social media to condemn the star over the clip, with one saying: "Are we watching the sad slow demise of Louis Smith?"

Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadan Foundation, told The Sun in response to the video: “I think he should apologise immediately.

“Our faith is not to be mocked, our faith is to be celebrated and I think people will be offended.”

Following the backlash, retired gymnast Luke fired back and claimed it was nothing more than a joke.

He said: “It was a three-minute video of us just fooling around.”

Mirror Celeb has contacted Louis' rep for comment.
