Fashion designer Marc Jacobs says he has quit the gay dating app Grindr after claims that he hosted a ten-man orgy.

The single 52-year-old is said to have held an all-male party over the weekend after sending guests topless pictures of himself, it has been reported.

The New York-born designer later took to Instagram to reveal he was leaving Grindr, telling followers: 'Goodbye (for now) Grindr! It was fun for "group" get togethers, but, what really excites me is my work!'

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs (pictured) says he has quit the gay dating app Grindr after claims that he hosted a ten-man orgy

He also wrote: 'Yup. I'm gay. Sometimes I enjoy sex. Sometimes! #stillonlyhuman #callmemarc #yourstotry...maybe.'

It comes after a source told Page Six he had attended the orgy and described how 'everyone was in their 20s'.

The source is quoted as saying: 'People weren’t as good-looking as I expected.

'They were average, chill people who didn’t have any attitude, which was really nice.'

The New York-born designer took to Instagram to reveal he was leaving Grindr, telling followers: 'Goodbye (for now) Grindr! It was fun for "group" get togethers, but, what really excites me is my work!'

After Page Six broke the story with the headline 'Marc Jacobs hosts a wild, 10-person orgy', Jacobs took to Instagram once again writing: 'Wild??? I'd say "MILD".'

He added: 'And to whichever guest benefited from calling this misinformation into the Post, I only wish you good health, happiness, and a long life to enjoy taking advantage of the kindness of strangers and talking s**t about others. #reallyqueen?'

Page Six says it contacted Jacobs' representatives for a comment and was told that it was 'nothing we would comment (on) as a company'.

The designer has previously admitted being on the hook-up site and said he had no problems identifying himself despite his fame.

'I don't have any hang-ups about those kinds of things,' he told Paper magazine. 'I don't really care. Who's kidding who? I've talked about having hair transplants, I've talked about my drug problems, I've talked about my drinking problems, I've talked about sex. I just think it's so much better to sort of be honest about those things. I always find it very dubious and I don't really trust people who deny human instincts.'
