Lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone last night revealed her most embarrassing moment – scooping up an adorable Vietnamese ‘child’ in front of 3,000 people, then discovering that he was actually a 46-year-old married man.
The Tory business tsar – nicknamed ‘Baroness Bra’ after being made a peer last year – was speaking at an entrepreneurs’ conference in Vietnam when the ‘boy’ ran up to her with flowers.
She picked him up for a cuddle and a selfie.
But then a woman sitting in the front row shouted: ‘Put him down – I’m his wife!
The Scottish founder of the Ultimo underwear chain revealed her gaffe yesterday on Twitter with a snap and the tweet: ‘Thought this was a six-year-old, picked him up, he’s a MAN.’
