A woman was left humiliated after a roofer working on her home accidentally left her a seven-minute long voicemail in which he called her a 'lazy slob'.

Daisy Mae Spain, 27, said was horrified when she played back the voicemail and heard the man insulting her appearance and saying she 'used to be pretty, but she isn't now'.

Daisy Mae, from the Wirral in Merseyside, said: "I was looking for someone to come and cover my vents in the roof because last year, some birds nested in the loft.

"I love animals and when one bird got left behind, I ended up nurturing it until it could be freed.

"I just didn't want birds nesting in the loft again.

"He didn't come in, I met him at the door and pointed up. I had my joggers on and my hair in a bun because we're in a lockdown and that's what he's judged me on because he didn't come inside.

"As he left, he called to make sure it was my number but forgot to hang up.

"He said he'd seen my photo on the app and I used to be stunning but I'm not anymore.

"It was really hurtful, it just wasn't nice to hear and it was really strange because he was about 60 and I thought he was a nice older man.

"He just shouldn't have been making comments about my appearance.

"I have fibromyalgia, so my mobility is restricted, and everyone has put on a couple of pounds over the past few months.

"I have autism so I'm socially awkward and usually let my husband answer the door. I really regretted answering it."

Daisy Mae says after hearing the message she confronted the handyman, who apologised for what he'd said.

She added: "I called him and just told him that I'd heard the voicemail and heard him call me a lazy slob and I didn't want him coming to the house but he didn't say anything so I hung up and text him saying how unprofessional he'd been.

"I was so angry. He text back saying he was sorry and felt ashamed and he obviously was but it didn't take away what he'd said.

"It really affected my self-esteem. It knocked my confidence and I really dipped for a few days. I felt like I needed to change myself completely."

Although she was left feeling humiliated by the experience, Daisy Mae is determined not to let it knock her confidence and says it was a bit of turning point for her making her more determined to be successful in her job as an Ann Summers team ambassador.

"After a few days I perked back up and realised that he doesn't matter," she said.

"I have an amazing husband who absolutely loves me and I won the Woman Summers 2021 award which is my proudest achievement. It doesn't matter what an old man thinks.

"Women don't need to be accepted by others, they just need to accept themselves and love every part of themselves."
