    Do you see the image in your sent message and does the recipient also see it? Are both of you in the UK? 

    ID mobile use the Three network.

    Could it be a third party messaging app that shows ads?

    That would be the first thing to check, another thing is to see how the message was sent, via the handset or a third party method..
