PHOTOS: Instagram sensation 'mistakenly' live streams herself having sex

An Instagram starlet has been left red-faced after accidentally live streaming herself having sex with her boyfriend to 14,000 of her followers.

Kristen Hancher, from Los Angeles was getting intimate with her partner Andrew Gregory when she mistakenly made the broadcast.

The live stream, which only picked up audio because the mobile phone was faced down, lasted for around three minutes.

It was then posted on her Instagram story, where 14,000 of her 3.9 million followers were listening. 

After she realized her mistake, the 18-year-old immediately took the post down from social media.

Speaking to her followers, she said: 'Whoever saw my live, I just wanna apologise. 

'That was totally NOT intentional. Delete it from your mind. That was super embarrassing and super uncomfortable.

'But for real, guys, s*** happens. Accidents happen. You have to move on and pretend like it never happened and go on with your life. That's what I'm gonna do.

She added: 'I apologise to all my fan pages. I know you all have been upset because I never gave you guys a full explanation. On what happened on my live.

'On my Instastory. I accidentally went live and found out three minutes later and 14,000 people were watching. I am so sorry.'
