Brad Burns, the vice-president of YouPorn.com, has written to Trierweiler to "officially offer you the opportunity to become our ambassador and French spokeswoman".

YouPorn claims the offer is genuine and in the offer to Trierweiler goes on to praise Europe's liberal attitude towards sex.

The split
Trierweiler (48), who was a journalist at Paris Match said she did not want to pursue journalism anymore and wanted to focus on humanitarian efforts.

The former First Lady just split with French President Francois Hollande after it emerged he was having an affair with a French actress Julie Gayet.

Following the revelations, Valerie spoke of the heartache she suffered and said hearing about his affair felt like ‘falling from a skyscraper'.

She added that she had heard rumours about the alleged affair with an actress, but paid no attention before the latest allegations had surfaced.

She said there had already been a "detachment" between her and Hollande.

Hollande, meanwhile, who had never married, is now expected to remain a ‘bachelor president' for a while, while continuing with his relationship with Gayet outside the Élysee .
