Miranda Kerr says she "had no idea" that an image she posted of herself on Instagram earlier this week had been photoshopped.

The Aussie super model responded to the photo furor and confessed, "Hi guys, here is the original VS image! When I re-posted the photo this week to support the girls I screen grabbed it off the internet when I was working in Japan. I had no idea it was photoshopped. All good intentions- sorry for the confusion and congratulations to the girls for such a great show!"

The 30-year-old had posted a picture on Tuesday, November 12 of herself backstage at the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion show posing with Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio. The image was almost the same as the one she had posted last November except for a couple of crucial details. Kerr's waist looks considerably leaner, her stomach is more defined and her face has been cast with a flattering glow while her fellow Angel's faces remain the same.

Kerr who recently separated from hubby Orlando Bloom is no longer a Victoria's Secret Angel. She was in Japan celebrating a magazine cover while the other Angels strutted down the runway for the annual lingerie show.
