A newly-wed model who ordered a sex toy online was shocked when it was delivered in tight wrapping and handed over by her elderly postwoman "gripping it at the balls".
Holly-Ann Powell had bought the cheeky £7 love aid online to add to her collection as her husband "doesn't always do what she wants".
But as the 19-year-old opened her front door on Wednesday, she was mortified to see her postwoman, holding the tightly-packaged dildo 'like a sword' as she sheepishly handed it over.
The parcel was wrapped so tightly it strongly suggested the shape of something rather adult.
And if that wasn't her address even contains the word 'Cock' meaning this was written down the toy's shaft - making her faux-pas even more embarrassing.
Holly-Ann, who got married in April, said: "Everybody's probably had [an online shopping] disaster but this tops them all.
"The postlady knocked on my door and she'd only introduced herself to me the other day.
"She's a lovely, older lady. She walked up the steps this morning and I thought 'it can't be..?'
"Then she handed it over to me. She was bright red."
Holly, from Eastbourne, added: "My dog was barking so I just looked at her, shouted 'thank you' really quick and shut the door.
"The worst part about it was she was holding it by the balls and you could clearly tell there was a dildo in there.
"She was holding it like a sword when she handed it to me.
"She definitely knew what it was. I wanted the floor to swallow me up."
Once Holly-Ann opened the package managed to see the funny side.
"The first thing I could do was take a photo and post a 'be careful ordering online' warning!" she said.
"I compared it to my normal one that arrived yesterday in a lovely box.
"The dildo is very heavy and I can use it as a coat hanger pretty much. "
