Mr Ohly, 56, quickly removed the picture after posting it on Instagram, but couldn't stop the avalanche of comments in social media.

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, of the rival Moderate Party joked: 'Congratulations - finally, after all these years you have made a genuine public breakthrough.'

Mr Ohly made light of the embarrassment and said he would be more careful when he posts online.

'Ha, ha, I accidentally posted a picture on Instagram that showed more than intended,' he said, according to the AFP. 'Now corrected.'

After the incident he wrote on his Twitter account: 'Summer's wonderful. The willy picture is today's hot topic. Completely by accident, though. The future will see a more thorough uploading review process.'



He later wrote: 'Oh, how many new followers I've got on Instagram today (and how disappointed they're going to be).'
