The Block quitter Elle Ferguson is BUSTED in cringe influencer fail after sharing a sponsored Instagram post with a 'glaring mistake'
The Block star Elle Ferguson has been called out for an apparent Instagram fail.
The Sydney influencer, 37, who quit this year's season of the Channel Nine renovation show after just two days on the building site, shared a sponsored post for a beauty brand on Tuesday, but seemingly forgot to proofread her caption.
She posted a close-up photo of herself with her hair tied back in a neat bun as she rested her head on one hand, drawing attention to a diamond ring on her finger.

'Current chain of thought,' she wrote in the caption.
Elle presumably meant 'train of thought', and her apparent spelling mistake didn't go unnoticed in the comments section.
'Train of thought?' one follower wrote, while another added: 'You mean "train".'

Several followers assumed she must have meant 'train of thought'
One fan bluntly commented, 'It's "train", babe,' and another couldn't resist joking: 'Choo choo.'
'"Proof reading the caption" has left the chat,' yet another follower commented.
The phrases 'train of thought' and 'chain of thought' are both idioms.

'Train of thought' is a series of thoughts or ideas that someone is having, while 'chain of thought' means a line of reasoning.
Several fans noted this in the comments section, telling the others to stop mocking Elle because she may not have actually made a mistake.
'"Chain of thought" and "train of thought" are both correct; they’re both idioms. People can stop correcting her now,' one wrote.
Elle responded to the user: 'Thanks, beautiful.'

Elle and her partner Joel Patfull, 37, are perhaps best known for throwing in the towel just two days after joining this year's season of The Block.
Their abrupt decision left the cast and crew of the Nine series 'blindsided'.
The couple said at the time they were leaving because Joel's mother Trish had fractured her neck during a fall at her home in Adelaide.
But host Scott Cam cast doubt on this, accusing them of fleeing the building site in the middle of the night because the show wasn't 'on brand' for them.
He also said they had complained 'the toilet paper was too scratchy'.

But the blogger and the retired AFL player disputed this, insisting they quit because of a legitimate family emergency.
Elle, who labels herself a 'global digital influencer and entrepreneur', was later snubbed from an in-depth study by The Oz that ranked Australia's top 100 influential online creators.
The brand ambassador, whose clients include Dior and Kim Kardashian's shapewear line Skims, has a whopping 673,000 followers.
