When a star gets banned, it’s time to drop the mic! Steven Bartlett faces ban on Huel and Zoe ads, but he’s got a new stage – the rap battle arena!

Steven Bartlett, the entrepreneurial sensation behind the popular podcast "Diary of a CEO", has found himself in hot water after the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned his adverts for nutrition brands Huel and Zoe. The ASA deemed these promotions misleading due to Bartlett’s failure to disclose his commercial interests in the brands. As both a guest on BBC’s Dragon’s Den and the host of one of the UK’s top business podcasts, this recent ban marks an unexpected twist in his marketing journey, stirring conversations about advertising ethics in influencer marketing.
