Belle Delphine has officially returned to YouTube.

Belle Delphine has had her YouTube channel reinstated after the platform terminated her account for violating its policy on "nudity and sexual content".

On Monday (Nov 23), fans noticed that Belle's account had disappeared from YouTube. Instead, the message: "This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s policy on nudity or sexual content," stood in its place.

Belle was incredibly upset about the deletion of her account and said she had received "no warning/strikes" before her account was removed. YouTube has a three-strike policy before it permanently deletes a channel unless the video has severely breached their policy.

She tweeted: "Thankyou SO much to everybody who has stood up for me. @TeamYouTube please explain to me why i was banned when i have done nothing different to 'WAP'. This is my entire career."

Well, it seems the buzz worked: Belle's YouTube channel is officially back along with her 1.79 million subscribers. Celebrating her channel's return, she tweeted: "MY YOUTUBE IS BACK AAAAAAAH fuccc im so happy i could cry :,) THANKYOU @TeamYouTube for listening to me!! Thank you to everybody else who hugely helped as well."

Team YouTube then explained that Belle's channel was actually deleted by mistake. They tweeted: "Glad you saw your account has been reinstated. The termination was a mistake by the review team – we're so sorry for the frustration this caused. We’ve sent you an email with more info."
