Model David Gandy has hit back at a feminist group whose members blasted a Marks & Spencer window display he appears in - because it featured 'must-have fancy little knickers'.
The pants row broke out this week when women said the store had made men seem 'more powerful' than women in its Christmas window.
Members of the Facebook group Feminist Friends Nottingham were infuriated by the double display which features two sides - one for men and one for women.
The Christmas window shows Gandy modelling suits with the tagline 'must-have outfits to impress' adjacent to red and black lingerie for women - with the tagline 'must-have fancy little knickers'.
Gandy responded by sharing an image of himself in underwear sold in Marks & Spencer, teasing: 'If any men want any 'must have fancy knickers' for Christmas. Then I may know just where to shop.'

'Fancy little knickers' row: Women were offended over the Marks and Spencer display which one member of the Feminist Friends Nottingham claimed was 'vomit-inducing'
He added a link to the underwear on the site.
When a person said he had missed the point, Gandy said: 'Not missing the point at all.
'Just making fun of it, as many people are getting their knickers in a twist about it … '
He then added another picture of himself in washing up gloves.
'I'm outraged that M&S had me wearing 'must have fancy little washing up gloves' to do the washing up!' he said.
'Have we not learnt anything over the last 35 years.
'We all have dishwashers!'
The feminists in the Nottingham group called the display 'grossly offensive'.

The women were particularly aggrieved because the display was close to men's 'must have' suits which they said made men seem powerful - and women less so
Shopper Fran Bailey posted a photo in the and said she objected to the 'vomit-inducing' display for both its 'normalisation of damaging gender stereotypes through the juxtaposition of images of women apparently obsessed with 'fancy little knickers' with images of fully clothed men being 'dressed to impress' in suits', and also the slogan 'must-have' when 'huge numbers of Britons are struggling with poverty'.
Marks & Spencer responded following Bailey's complaint, saying: 'M&S sells more underwear, in more shapes, sizes and styles, than any other retailer, especially at Christmas.
'We've highlighted one combination in our windows, which are part of a wider campaign that features a large variety of must-have Christmas moments, from David Gandy washing up in an M&S suit through to families snuggling up in our matching PJs.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
