A TORY MP has whipped up a storm on Twitter after referring to himself as a 'giant p****'.

The weather satellite image appeared to show a rudely-shaped cloud pointing at the Devon city.

But while BBC weatherman Matt Taylor appeared not to spot the willy shape several viewers - including Mr Mercer - were quick to spot the phallic graphic.

He then responded to a tweet which read: "Exeter @ExpressandEcho reports 'giant p****' heading for neighbouring city of Plymouth."

The former army officer quipped back: "A bit early. I haven't even left London yet."

The MP's humour went down well among twitter users, being retweeted hundreds of times.

Peter McCormack was among those to comment, saying: "He said a giant one Johnny, you're in the clear."

While Juan Incognito wrote on the social network: "Autumn statement has been hard on everyone?"

The BBC broadcast the weather report with the naughty storm shortly before 7am on Wednesday as areas surrounding Plymouth were hit by a flurry of snow.

The MP has previously caused a stir when he appeared naked in a Dove shower gel advert shown on American television.
