Duncan Bannatyne mocked online after posting snap of himself kissing girlfriend Nigora
MERE hours after he had a spat with a 12-year-old boy, Duncan Bannatyne raised yet more eyebrows on Twitter yesterday.
Duncan Bannatyne's kissing snap caused a stir on Twitter yesterday
The I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star might regret treating the world to a smug picture of himself and girlfriend Nigora Whitehorn, after his post went viral.
The 66-year-old could be seen kissing the 35-year-old brunette beauty in the loved-up photo, which quickly drew a lot of negative attention.
"Have a wonderful day! I know I will," Duncan captioned the image of him making out with the former dental assistant.
Users on the micro-blogging site were quick to poke fun at the cringeworthy, posed-for snap, which the Dragons' Den star appears to have since deleted.

The pair soon found themselves the butt of jokes online
Spoof versions soon appeared, and even Simon Pegg accompanied Duncan's words with a picture of Jabba The Hut and Princess Leia.
Duncan's mocking came on the same day that he left Rocco Rose upset, after he tweeted him for advice.
The young user wrote: "Hey, I asked you for an idea for another business plan of what I can do. I took up buying and selling stuff online. Thank you!"

Duncan soon snapped back: "I know you did and I ignored you. Who do you think you are?"
Rocco replied: "A young boy wishing to grow up like you, an entrepreneur. I look up to you."
The boy has since spoken of his "disappointment" over the exchange and said he has been left feeling "upset and ashamed" by his hero.
