Recently inaugurated French President Nicolas Sarkozy was embroiled in his first bru-ha yesterday when election love-rival Sellotape Royale let slip that Sarkozy liked to wear women's underwear in private.
Confronted with the allegation printed in this morning's edition of Lur Monde, Sarkozy denied that he had ever worn anything other than rough Foreign-Legion-type canvas shorts as underwear, claiming 'the rough material grating against his nether-regions had given him a strength of fortitude that had ensured success in his battle to succeed former President and thief, Jack Shrek'.
Ms Chicken Royale had made the allegation after finding her underwear drawer empty after sharing a room with Sarkozy last week.
