Labour's mayoral hopeful and Tooting MP Sadiq Khan backed Ms Pearce, saying: “This kind of sexist advertising has absolutely no place on London’s transport network.
“I’m pleased the poster is now being taken down, but it’s ridiculous it was put up in the first place.”

A Southeastern spokesman said the poster was intended to be "harmless", but said it had aimed to draw attention to safety issues.
The spokesman said: “Following a complaint last night from Teresa Pearce, MP for Erith and Thamesmead, this poster has been removed from the 70 stations it was placed in.
“The poster was used as it was intended to be a harmless, but impactful way of drawing attention to safety issues at stations, particularly trips and falls during wet weather.
“This poster was put to an independent panel, which included both women and men, who approved it before it was used.
"We since recognise that to some it may cause offence and have taken appropriate action by removing it.”
