Frisky French minister accidentally publishes private tweet asking his wife to come to bed

Minister couple

A frisky French minister has been left red-faced after asking his wife to go to bed with him in a Twitter message published to thousands of readers.
Industry minister Eric Besson, 53, meant to send the saucy tweet privately to stunning student Yasmine Tordjman - who is 29 years his junior.
But instead it was flashed up on the internet to more than 14,000 Twitter followers.

The blundering minister sent the message to Tunisian-born Yasmine at 11am today, saying: 'When I come home I’m going to bed. Too exhausted. With you?'
He deleted the message within minutes, but not before it had been 're-Tweeted' tens of thousands of times.

Mr Besson later tried to make light of the gaffe, posting up: 'That will teach me to manage my lists and not hit the send button by mistake. I'm not going to bed!'
He later posted to all his followers: 'OK, have your fun. I’ve got a meeting in parliament to prepare for.'
