Gigi Hadid has been warned not to take part in the Victoria’s Secret Show 2017 in Shanghai after she “mocked Asians” in a “racist” Instagram video.

Hadid, 22, announced her return to the annual catwalk – but she was met with resistance from critics who told her she is “not welcome”.

The model – who is dating Zayn Malik – announced the news with a black and white video of herself wearing lingerie and angel wings.

She captioned the clip: “Forever and ever and ever a dream come true to be asked back to the VS Show !!!

“Thank you my friends @ed_razek @10magazine @johndavidpfeiffer @monica.mitro for another unforgettable opportunity; every aspect makes me feel like a dreaming kid again.”

But critics were quick to remind her of a video posted by her sister Bella in which she was squinting her eyes as she held up a Buddha cookie and appeared to impersonate the face.

One user commented: “We like some people who respects us, not you. What you have done made us unhappy. And Chinese do not welcome you. So don’t come to China (sic).”

Another posted: “As a Chinese, we don't welcome racist to China.”

A third claimed they had reported her to the Chinese authorities, writing: “I have reported to the Chinese government, and I hope you can not come to China.”

Her comments were also littered with snake emojis while others branded her “shameful”.

Models Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Jasmine Tookes, and Stella Maxwell will return for this year’s extravaganza.

They will be joined by new recruits Frida Aasen, Victoria Lee, Vanessa Moody, Nadine Leopold, Bruna Lirio, Gizele Oliveira, Aiden Curtis and Alexina Graham.

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Hadid for comment.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be broadcast on November 28.
