Twitter gaffe: MP Rob Wilson (Picture: YouTube)

A Conservative MP surprised his followers on Twitter after accidentally posting a link to an X-rated porn site.

Reading East MP Rob Wilson thought he was sharing a link to an article about a BBC interview with work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith when he inadvertently directed his followers to ‘the ultimate adult site guide’.

Featuring images of a number of scantily-clad women, the site promises to help its users ‘find sexy partners’ near to where they live.

The link was quickly deleted after a number of Twitter users highlighted the MP’s mistake, while an investigation is underway at Tory HQ to determine how the link was posted.

‘Dodgy link there, Rob!’ wrote one eagle-eyed follower.



Another added: ‘Copy the URL in the wrong window by any chance?’

However it appears the MP was not to blame for the saucy link.

Metro understands the link was sent to him by someone at Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) in a bid to push the story.

A source at CCHQ denied members of staff had been browsing porn sites and blamed the dodgy link on a ‘technical glitch’.

The source said: ‘Rob Wilson expressed an interest in a story. He was sent a link, it appears there was a technical glitch and we are investigating it.’

Mr Wilson, who is understood to be very embarrassed by the episode, told Metro he had received a ‘full apology’ from CCHQ and that ‘the matter is closed’.
