This is the moment a protester threw chips and mayonnaise at Belgium's Prime Minister - who appeared to absolutely relish the experience.

In what appears to have been one of the more good willed attacks on a political leader, a woman with her face half covered by a bandanna squirted the sauce at Charles Michel.

As the protester ambushes him during a press conference in the city of Namur, Mr Michel admirably takes it on the chin.

After the chips are thrown, the woman proceeds to squirt the mayonnaise in front of those gathered at the event as onlookers whip out their phones to take pictures.

It is believed the woman was an anti-government activist associated with the feminist group LilithS, formerly the Belgian branch of Femen.

The Prime Minister later resumed his speech after changing his shirt, reportedly prompting loud applause for the audience.
