The Vietnamese man Michelle Mone mistook for a “six-year-old” boy has been revealed as a 22-year-old estate agent.

The man in question, Nguyen Tan Phat, has come forward and corrected widespread reports that he was a 46-year-old married man, explaining he is in his early twenties and is single.

The Glaswegian entrepreneur and Conservative peer scooped up what she thought was a young boy to pose for a photo on stage at an entrepreneurs’ conference in Vietnam.

Following the realisation that he was, in fact, a “man”, the 44-year-old Baroness of Mayfair, who is the founder of lingerie company Ultimo, expressed deep humiliation at the “embarrassing moment”.

Writing in a Facebook post titled “The truth behind the man who is 46 years old”, Tan Phat explained he had looked this way since he was 6-years-old and corrected Mone’s claims his teeth “were bright yellow from nicotine”.

Previous reports claimed a woman in the front row had shouted “Put him down – I’m his wife!” after Mone posed for a photo with the man.

The incident prompted a mixed reaction on Twitter. While many found the saga humorous, with June Sarpong writing, “Hilarious, brings new meaning to picking up a man”, others were less than pleased. “So your multiplying the mans humiliation by tweeting it to amuse your brain dead supporters,” wrote one user. While another said, “Most people be too shamed to admit to that never mind tweet it. Not funny.“

Happy couple: Candice Swanepoel and her fiance Hermann Nicoli looked blissfully happy as the enjoyed a stroll in Soho, New York on Monday

Far from flashing her baby body for all to see, Candice wrapped things up in her tight skirt – which tumbled to her calf in length yet hugged her bump.

Her cropped grey jumper featured a crew neck while the hem sat just above her bump perfectly framing her neat baby belly to maximise the appearance of her pregnancy body.

The underwear model’s chic velvet cardigan tied the look together while coordinating with her chic pumps, affording the casual look an elegant feel.

Her blonde tresses were worn loose and in natural waves while her face was fresh and completely make-up free, while she draped a pair of sunglasses in the neck of her jumper.

Hermann looked handsome in a blue crew-neck jumper and jeans, while his long hair flicked over to one side, giving a super casual feel to his look.

Candice announced her pregnancy in a touching black and white picture of her hand crossed over her stomach with fiance Hermann on Instagram.

In a tribute to her catwalk career, she was clad in her lingerie and sports bra as she wrote affectionately about having a ‘large belly’.

She wrote: ‘Agora e #barrigapositiva ! #babyangel,’ which roughly translates to ‘What happens now, large belly, baby angel.’

It was first reported that the star was expecting last month, when a source confirmed the model’s excitement to welcome a first child.

One source told E! News that she was ‘so excited,’ while another continued: ‘They are very happy. They plan to spend the summer in New York.’

The South African model has been dating Hermann since she was 17 years old, and they got engaged in August of 2015.

Candice has made no secret of her desire to have a family, telling Hello Fashion Monthly last year: ‘I would love to have children.’

Speaking a few months before Hermann popped the question, the model added that she already felt fully committed to her man.

‘I’m not sure about marriage yet,’ she said. ‘I kind of feel married already. 10 years is kind of a marriage, so I don’t really need papers to tell me that.’
