RUTH Davidson was "never in doubt" as she dodged swimming naked in Loch Ness after the SNP failed to win 50 seats in yesterday's General Election.

The ex-Scottish Tory leader, 41, vowed to skinny dip with Nessie if the Nats achieved the huge number at the polls.

Celebs got right into the spirit of the cheeky promise - with Outlander star Sam Heughan and Still Game's Greg Hemphill both commenting.

But Ms Davidson firmly believed her modesty would remain "unmolested" as she did not think the Nats would manage it.

And as the exit polls concluded, Nicola Sturgeon's party triumphed with 48 seats - two shorts of her bet.

Writing in The Telegraph earlier this week, Ms Davidson said: "I will happily wager to strip naked on the banks of Loch Ness and subject myself to a Hogmanay wild swimming session should such a result occur, safe in the knowledge that my modesty (and others' eyeballs) will remain unmolested."

We told earlier how Scotland is now “accelerating towards independence” after General Election results showed a wielding political split with the rest of the UK.

Nicola Sturgeon has said she has a "renewed, refreshed and strengthened" mandate for a second vote on Scottish independence, as the SNP made a series of gains by securing 48 seats.

She said: "The party currently holds 35 seats, while the Scottish Conservatives control 13, Labour has seven and the Lib Dems four.

"To hit the magic 50, the SNP has to pinch 15 seats from three parties with wildly different offerings on Brexit, the permissibility of another independence referendum, the nuclear deterrent, the economy in general and nationalisation in particular."

She added: "In addition to this, the SNP isn't just targeting gains. It's also trying to close the door on further losses.

"In 2017, largely thanks to pro-Union voters adopting tactical voting strategies, Ms Sturgeon lost 21 seats and half a million votes in a single night.

"A fair share of what's left are ultra-marginals."

Ms Davidson also said that pro-Union voters in Scotland now have a taste for voting tactically against the SNP and concluded "let's just say I'm confident I won't be wild swimming any time soon".

In other General Election news, Nicola Sturgeon has halted mentions of ‘IndyRef2020’ to her one million Twitter followers — as polls show the issue bombs with voters.

The Nats chief came under fire for switching her election campaign focus to stopping Brexit despite a manifesto vow to repeat the 2014 ballot.

Meanwhile, Jo Swinson was mocked by her political rival after a visit to a store in her own constituency of Milngavie which she labelled as "in Glasgow".
