Salesman Wayne Simpson sent a customer a picture of himself taking a bubble bath and got himself the sack. Energy seller Wayne, 40, got all in a lather when he thought a potential customer flirted with him as he tried to talk her into changing suppliers.
After chatting her up he sent her a snap of himself on her mobile phone naked in the bath surrounded by bubbles and sipping a glass of bourbon.
But he wasn't quite the soap stud he thought he was and his bare faced cheek landed him in hot water after the woman complained to police.
And when his bosses at EDF found out he was sacked from job - worth up to £28,000 a year with commission - and now is not allowed to work for any other energy firm.
Wayne, of Geoffrey Street, Whitburn, said: "It was a harmless bit of fun. I can't understand what all the fuss has been about.
"I just sent her the picture on my phone for a laugh. I never imagined in a million years I would end up losing my job."
Wayne, who lives with his mum, was canvassing for customers in Ryhope and thought he had really got on well with the woman as they discussed energy supplies.
He said: "I honestly thought she fancied me. I certainly fancied her, she was gorgeous."
Wayne, who has been married once before, said: "I couldn't believe it when she rang the police to complain.
"I was just sitting there bare chested in the bath holding a glass of bourbon and surrounded by bubbles. I wasn't even showing off my naughty bits."

I met him and he is a 'drunk'. I took him out for a nice walk and he needed to stop off for drinks on the way home. Refusing his request he became angry. He regularly takes cannabis. And how he has or had a £30 grand job is beyond me.
