After the episode, the Ikea Cardiff shop withdrew the print and released an apology statement.
“We can confirm that a photograph that could cause offence to some of our customers was found in our store," store manager Richard Owen said in a statement to Mashable.
"We often use photography to illustrate life at home in our room sets and as soon as we were made aware, the image was immediately removed.
"We apologise for any offence the image may have caused.”
