Madonna posts lingerie photo on Instagram after deleting controversial praise for Margaret Thatcher
Madonna has deleted a controversial photo that she posted in support of Margaret Thatcher on Instagram, before replacing it with a lingerie picture.
The superstar, who regularly uploads snaps of famous people she respects, originally captioned the image of the former Prime Minister with praise.
<blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-version="4"><div> <div> <div /></div> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/p/1ttkMWmEVy/" target="_blank" class="body-link" data-vars-item-name="BL-62086-https://instagram.com/p/1ttkMWmEVy/" data-vars-event-id="c23">He sent me roses begging my forgiveness.

She wrote: "If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
“Thank you Margaret Thatcher! #unapologetic #rebel heart.”
After receiving a number of complaints from fans, the 56-year-old took the post down, without any explanation.
She then replaced it with a rather racy photo of herself in black and red lingerie, with red roses strewn around her.
The caption of the picture was equally cryptic, simply saying: “He sent me roses begging my forgiveness. I said I'd think about it. These guys.”
While Madonna didn’t mention who had sent the flowers, many of her followers seemed to think that the post could be a reference to her controversial on-stage kiss with Drake.
The star was left embarrassed after pictures of the 28-year-old looking visibly disgusted went viral, prompting him to clarify the situation on Twitter.
After the performance, he wrote: “Don't misinterpret my shock!! I got to make out with the queen Madonna and I feel about that forever. Thank you @madonna.”
