Surprise: A man accidentally booked his son’s girlfriend as an escort (Picture: Alamy / file)

A 70-year-old Italian got a shock when the escort he hired turned out to be his son’s girlfriend.

The pensioner, from the northern Italian city of Treviso, found himself in a very awkward situation when his future daughter-in-law walked through the door.

He had even gone to the trouble of booking the escort from a neighbouring city, only for his plan to backfire spectacularly, Italian newspaper Il Gazzettino reported.

His 40-year-old son’s South American girlfriend had told the family she was a waitress before their awkward meeting, which ended before it even began.


The unusual incident sparked a bitter feud between the pair and was revealed this week at a court hearing.

They have yet to settle their dispute.
