First, it tweeted a link to a video on Pornhub. (From the BBW section, to be precise.)

Then, Dele said he couldn’t delete it.

The internet was only delighted. People were telling him he couldn’t delete it, that tweets stay forever, and so on.

Whoops!

Within hours, the gaffe was all over Twitter. It was widely reported on mainstream UK news publications.

Whoops!
