A strange and mysterious plague is sweeping celebs across your Instagram feed and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

The first symptom was 'fingermouthing', the obsessive practice of being unable to take a selfie without placing a casual yet totally purposeful clawed hand halfway across your face like so:

But today things have developed into somethingeven more serious and now celebs and normals alike are being taken over by yet another insidious pose: this time known as the 'Bambi'.

*CUE DRAMATIC MUSIC*

Ok, so we might be exaggerating a' touch', but if you follow even one Victoria's Secret Angel on Insta, we're pretty sure you must have noticed that for some reason, all the celeb crowd can't seem to take a bikini pic these days without sitting back on their knees like a baby deer in repose.

Naturally the fact that they have peanut butter tans and professional social media assistants on hand to take their picprobably helps make this one look sexy af, but you just know the fact that they are all at it means that your feed is going to be packed with people you haven't spoken to since you were 15 doing it when they head off to Magaluf on holiday this summer.

And really, there is no denying that the celebs are really into the Bambi right now. It's turning into a bit of a thing.

So what do you reckon - is this trend something you'll be trying out? Drop us a tweet to @MTVUK to let us know.
