Facebook permanently deleted its Instagram account last month.
But that didn’t stop Pete Evans from making an appearance on the social media site by appearing in his wife Nicola’s Instagram Stories on Wednesday.
In a bizarre video, the controversial celebrity chef hugged a horse, while a woman (presumably Nicola) provided the horse’s ‘comment’ off-camera.

All that could be seen of the woman were her legs and feet stretched out on the table where the two men were seated.
A well-known anti-vaxxer, Evans was taken off Instagram, his latest mainstream social media platform, last month.
The owner of the Facebook platform released a statement at the time, saying: ‘We have deleted Pete Evans’ account for repeatedly sharing denied claims about the coronavirus or vaccines. ”
“ We do not allow anyone to share misinformation about COVID-19 that could lead to imminent physical harm or about COVID-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts. ”
Evans was kicked from Facebook himself in December, and his podcast was deleted from Spotify as well. He had a million followers on Facebook.
It was also ditched by 15 sponsors and companies in two days after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.

Just last week, Evans received a joke with a website named after his Senate campaign that redirects to a government website about the importance of immunization.
Instead, Evans fans looking for his political campaign website were redirected to the official federal immunization programs webpage – insisting that they are “ simple, safe and effective. ”
Users also receive more information on how to get vaccinated against diseases like Covid-19 when they visit www.peteevansforsenate.com.
Evans has been a virulent skeptic of the coronavirus vaccine and has even called the global Covid-19 crisis a “ scamdemic ”.
Last week, Evans received a joke with a URL named after his Senate race, diverting to a federal government health webpage on the value of immunization.

He’s also a die-hard fan of disgraced former US President Donald Trump and has been pictured proudly wearing a Make America Great Again cap.
He continued to blame the media for his spectacular career implosion and focused on promoting his views through the platforms of the Great Australia Party.
