From disrespecting cultural norms to doing anything at all for an Instagram-worthy selfie, it's not exactly uncommon for influencers to fail to read the room before posting their antics abroad online. The most recent social media slip-up was made by the Ingham Family who, to their whopping following of 1.38million, shared a YouTube video about their visit to Auschwitz. Despite saying content creator mum Sarah saying: 'I’m not sure what we will be able to film while we’re in here today, but anything that we are able to or we feel appropriate to will obviously be done with respect,' they still managed to cause offence. The video, which has amassed more than 30,000 views, included clips of inside the concentration camp – despite the museum’s filming policy stating that permission is required to film for commercial use, including on social media and YouTube.After receiving backlash for the footage online, it seems the clips have since been removed from the video. The Daily Mail previously contacted the family for comment.But the Ingham Family aren't the first influencers to cause trouble on holiday – plenty of others have made mishaps, too. Here we take a look at the worst offending influencers abroad... The Ingham Family recently shared a video of mum Sarah and her daughter's visit to Auschwitz.

The Kayu Putih tree is located at the back of a temple in Tabanan, about 23km (14 miles) north-west of Denpasa.Indonesian senator Ni Luh Djelantik posted the pictures on her social media and said: 'To all foreigners who disrespect our land, Bali is our home - not yours!''Do you think you'll look cool taking naked pictures on our holy trees? Go back to your country if you can't respect our tradition and culture!'The mystery woman was reportedly arrested following the photo shoot in the majority Muslim nation. Russian yoga influencer Alina Fazleeva was deported for posting similar photos at the same sacred tree in 2022.After receiving backlash on social media, Ms Fazleeva later posted an apology video where she prayed at the base of the tree, fully clothed, and expressed her 'regret'. Indeed, clothing, or a lack of it, seems to be a common issue for online influencers holidaying abroad.

'So today I am covering up to show some respect, and I respect their wishes one hundred percent,' Mikaela added.

Other diners began to copy the clip, which was taken in Sushiro, and shared their own antics online, the BBC reported. One clip apparently showed a diner licking a communal spoon used for green tea powder. Another featured customers piling wasabi on top of passing sushi plates, spoiling them for others.'As a company, we will continue to respond firmly with both criminal and civil cases,' Sushiro told the news outlet at the time. The restaurant also replaced all of the soy bottles at the targeted store in Gifu. Meanwhile, beauty influencer James Charles was criticised last year after he made a TikTok video about Bunnings' famed charity sausage sizzle.
