Singer Jess Glynne has criticised the White House for using her song from a viral Jet2holidays advert in a video promoting deportation.
Glynne, whose hit song Hold My Hand features in the advert by the UK company, said the White House's social media post made her feel "sick".
It comes after the White House posted a video to social media of people being handcuffed and escorted onto a plane, alongside the caption: "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!"
The caption makes reference to the accompanying voiceover in the original advert, which says: "Nothing beats a Jet2holiday, and right now you can save £50 per person..."
The audio has become a meme in recent weeks and has been used in more than 1.9 million videos on TikTok.
In a post to her Instagram story, Glynne said: "This post honestly makes me feel sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity - never about division or hate."
Jet2 has said it does not endorse the White House video.
A spokesperson for Jet2.com and Jet2holidays told the PA news agency: "Our branding has become something of a viral phenomenon this summer, and we are pleased to see how many people have used it in good humour.
"This has put a smile on many people's faces, just like our holidays do. We are, of course, aware of a post from the White House social media account.
"This is not endorsed by us in any way, and we are very disappointed to see our brand being used to promote government policy such as this."
Earlier this month, Glynne met voiceover star Zoe Lister on Capital Breakfast in the UK to recreate the advert live on the radio.
Glynne told the station: "It's mad because I feel like when I do my gigs, I feel like when I go to sing the hook, I feel like they're waiting for me to go, 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday'. It is tempting, but I need to take this seriously. It can't be a joke."
The White House has posted memes to its social media pages before, including an image of US President Donald Trump's face superimposed onto Superman alongside the caption: "The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way. Superman Trump."
