Life’s a drag for ‘macho’ Sun reporters

By Patrick

Sun reporters Nick Francis and David Lowe took one for their team today as they feature dressed as women for a light-hearted feature in the paper.

The paper even has a video of the pair shaving chests and getting dolled up for the photoshoot, inspired by Brazilian football star Ronaldo’s apparent inability to spot transvestites in a Rio club.

The paper chose ‘two of the The Sun’s most macho writers’ to see if readers could be fooled into thinking they were women, though on this evidence it appears they make better reporters than transvestites.
