Warren, who has a 13-year-old son, told Sun Online: "It's not very nice. It's made us look like a load of idiots when we are just trying to crack on and do some work.

"I would like an apology. I do not think it's right she can take a picture of us without us knowing and say that. I'm just working - just earning a living for me and my son."

The scaffolder of 20 years, who told Sun Online he doesn't actually have any GCSEs, added: “What gives her the right to look at me or us in that way.

“She’s no better than me because she can draw.”

The colleagues were grabbing a bite to eat at the fast food chain near Piccadilly yesterday morning when the picture was taken.

Social media users condemned the artist's post with comments including "you wouldn't last two minutes in the shoes of a tradesman".

Warren's mum Patricia has also also spoken out telling Sun Online: "He's always worked all his life and he looks after his son and provides for him.

"She wants to keep her mouth shut, she's a moron. They are workers what does she expect."

Angry Patricia added: "So my son does not have any GCSEs. He's got manners, he's been brought up proper."

Social media users hit out at the artist's snobby remarks saying: "Look like regular working guys to me. Probably nice people love their kids n family work hard."Another said: "What a twonk she is. I wear safety boots and ppe too and I have a masters. What should someone look like who has grades?" A third added: "What a ghastly person. They actually look like guys who do a decent day's work. Maybe she doesn't."

Twitter users also asked how Douglas' post fitted with comments made to Dazed Digital in July when she said: "I think as long as we are kind and gentle to others and, more importantly, ourselves then everything is bless."

One user commented: "Would pay to see her kindly and gently explain to the blokes why she feels she can mock them behind their backs to 15k people."

Douglas, from Nottingham, moved to South London to study art, at the trendy University of the Arts and has been interviewed for art blogs and fashion brand Fred Perry.

She works in super hip clothing shop Supreme in the West End, which regularly has customers queuing outside to get in, as well as reportedly modelling for the brand.

In interviews Douglas has bragged about being from "Shottingham"- a nickname used to describe her hometown's link to gun crime - and said pals describing her would say "big heart and well funny".

In August she told Hypebeast she hopes to move to New York or LA because she believes the cities' art scenes are more "open-minded".

She also spoke about her love of the fashion label Gucci and her plans for a solo show.

Douglas regularly speaks of how her artist mum inspires her saying she would skive off school as a youngster and go with her as she studied art.

On her website Douglas says that she makes work "that represents both the light and dark that comes with simply existing".

Since the backlash she has deleted her Instagram account, which had 15,000 followers and also included a 2015 picture of Douglas holding a job centre booklet while wearing an expensive hoody made by Supreme.

13 People have posted memes to Twitter following Douglas' comments

Hundreds of memes were also posted including one of a McDonald's worker with a bag of food captioned "here's that attention you ordered".

Douglas claims that her artwork "simultaneously conveys, subverts and celebrates the complexities of trust, sexual boundaries, and the labyrinth of unspoken intimacies of masculine/feminine truths."

Titles of pieces shown on her website include "Good luck", "You're a snake" and "screw".

A YouTube game reviewer was slammed today after suggesting McDonald's workers and said they should get "decent" jobs instead of "expecting handouts".
