George Osborne picture auction is removed from eBay

“Bids opened at £50,000 on an online auction site for the notorious photograph of a youthful George Osborne with a lady whose professional name used to be “Miss Whiplash.”

Natalie Rowe, the former madam of the Black Beauties escort agency, will, however, have to wait a while longer before she can enjoy the proceeds, after eBay withdrew it from sale barely 24 hours after it had been put up. “Why?” Miss Rowe demanded. “My lawyers will be looking into this farce.” She adds she is not prepared to give up on selling it and intends to take it to a traditional auctioneer.”
