THE woman who made headlines last week after she put her “poop” in her handbag while on a first date claims that her new fame has brought her plenty of attention — especially from men.

Makela, from Toronto, Canada, told US celebrity gossip and news site TMZ that she’s been swamped with attention from potential suitors after her story went viral on Twitter.

Makela, who tweets under the username @_blotty, rocked Twitter last week after detailing how she went to the toilet at her date’s house to find that the loo wouldn’t flush.

The social media user, who happily shares saucy selfies of herself, composed a string of tweets revealing how she panicked and reached into the toilet to fish out her own poo and pop it in her handbag.

She started her nerve-shredding tale with the line: “I have a story to tell. It is about my poop”, which instantly hooked many into hearing more.

Makela went on to tweet: “So, yesterday I went on a date with a man who asked me out in the grocery store the other day. All was going well. I went back to his place.”

She continued: “I am a confident, calm and self-assured woman ... so I felt comfortable popping in his bathroom. This was a mistake. His toilet did not flush.”

At this point, things started to take a turn for the worse.

Makela added: “Properly. So, of course, like any calm, confident, self-assured woman. I panicked. And flushed it a million times, making everything worse.”

“By this point, I was really frantic because I had been in there for too long. There was only one single piece of poop. So in that moment ...

“Something came over me. And I knew exactly what I had to do. I got toilet paper and removed the one poop from the toilet. Once that was done ...

“I realised I didn’t have a plan. What do I do with it now? I can’t f***** leave it there. By this point I was REALLY freaking out because ...

“I’d DEFINITELY been in there too long. So, again, making another horrible decision. I did the only thing I could think to do. I wrapped it ...

“In multiple layers of toilet paper, and put it in my purse.”

However, Makela could not get the idea of the ‘poop in purse’ out of her head and things soon started to get more heated with her new beau.

Her next tweet is enough to make anyone cringe: “Alright, so now what? We are sitting there on his couch and kissing and all I can think of is the piece of poop in my purse.

“Him: you’re so beautiful. The moment you smiled at me, u had me

“Me: that’s really sweet

“Me in my head: I have a piece of my poo in my purse.”

Unsure of what to do next, Makela decided to text her sister, Tina, for advice — but this didn’t prove too helpful.

However, a few hours later Makela saw a chance to get herself out of the situation:

“So, after a few hours he used the washroom and I heard it flush. I figured he fixed it. Maybe not, but I have to take the chance. I have to try to flush the poop. So I brought my purse up to the washroom. Unwrapped the poop, prayed to every god I know, put it in and flushed.

“By the grace of God, it worked. The poo flushed. I was free. I was in the clear. Everything was going to be okay. I survived. I am a survivor.”

She continued: “So that’s my story. A man, sat there telling me I’m the most amazing woman he’s ever met, not knowing, 10 feet away in my purse, was my poop that I’d fished out of his toilet ...”

“This is v embarrassing for me. But seriously: don’t drink coffee before a date, it’s better to be sleepy than to have to hide poop in ur purse.”

Since her posts went viral, Makela has been inundated with admiring tweets, one man wrote: “I don’t believe you actually pooh?!!?!”, while another user wrote: “I don’t care if you’re poop girl, you are friggin beautiful.”

After the huge response to her original tweets, Makela posted yesterday: “All of the hard work I put into being a hot girl is tarnished by one teeny tiny poop story. Now I’m just the poop girl.”
