"My friend stole a Drumstick from Sainsbury's, but that actually is illegal," PinkPantheress said.
"But I remember thinking to myself like – and we got banned – and we really went through it. I got banned, but I didn't steal anything.
"I remember thinking like given our age at the time, one Drumstick resulting in a ban, it's a bit much. Because we were banned from all Sainsbury's across the country."
Following the remarks, a Sainsbury's spokesperson said they are unable to verify whether the ban remains in place - or whether the incident ever took place.
