Former Glasgow girl Baroness Michelle Mone of Mayfair has been cosying up with UFC World Champion Conor McGregor while on a trip to Ireland.
The Tory peer and bra tycoon was speaking at the Pendulum Summit in Dublin on Thursday which brings together leading business and self-empowerment speakers.
After the event, the 46-year-old, mum-of-three posted a series of snaps from her time in the city, including one alongside Virgin boss Richard Branson, which she posted on Twitter.

She also posed for a picture alongside 29-year-old McGregor. Fists in the air, she wrote: “Totally love this guy!!”

“Oh good GRIEF,” was one comment, as another user said: “Conor is not who he used to be. Power and money have corrupted him.”

Another wrote: “So you have no taste or class! Good for you!”
“You ever fight again or just going around taking selfies?” said one while another tweet read, “Least he doesn’t forget his roots.”
McGregor also shared a snap of the pair on his Instagram, captioned: “With the Baroness lady Mone of Mayfair.”
“She hasn’t done Scotland proud,” was one comment to McGregor.
The Evening Times previously reported how entrepreneur Mone, formerly of the East End, opened the doors of her Isle of Man property along with Glasgow-born other half, 52-year-old Doug Barrowman, in a magazine photoshoot.
