The number of such images — which can see a person’s face seamlessly superimposed into porn pictures or videos — being placed online has grown rapidly.

It put the onus on platforms such as Facebook and X to root out and remove such content or face action from Ofcom.

Tory peer Baroness Owen, who has campaigned for action on the issue, welcomed the news.

She said: “It is long overdue and the Government must not delay any further in laying the legislation before Parliament to give women the vital protections they need from this appalling abuse.”

Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones said: “These new offences will help prevent people being victimised online.
