Nicola Sturgeon has said Tory leadership frontrunner Liz Truss asked her about how to get into Vogue.

The first minister said Ms Truss “looked a little bit as if she’d swallowed a wasp” after Ms Sturgeon told her she had been in Vogue twice.

Ms Sturgeon then said, during their brief meeting at Cop26 last year, the foreign secretary asked about how she could feature in the magazine.

Earlier in the Tory leadership race, Ms Truss dismissed Ms Sturgeon as an “attention seeker”.

Asked about Ms Truss’s comments during an LBC interview at Edinburgh’s Fringe festival, Ms Sturgeon said she initially thought “it was made up, it was a spoof.”

The first minister then said she had met Ms Truss during an event at the Cop26 summit in Glasgow and Ms Sturgeon mentioned she had been interviewed by Vogue before their encounter.

She told the audience: “That was the main thing she wanted to talk to me about, she wanted to know how she could get into Vogue – and she calls me an attention-seeker. I said to her they came and asked me.

“I didn’t really mean to do this, but I said to her it hadn’t actually been my first time in Vogue, it had been my second time. It looked a little bit as if she’d swallowed a wasp. I’m sure she’ll be in Vogue before too long.”
