Former First Minister Alex Salmond advised Mhairi Black to get a makeover after she was elected to Westminster.

The Paisley and Renfrewshire South MP said Salmond offered her style advice and suggested fellow MP Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh could take her clothes shopping.

Speaking to Holyrood magazine, the 23-year-old, who is the youngest MP in Westminster, said Salmond told her: "The last time I had this conversation was with a young woman named Nicola Sturgeon."

Black, who was first elected in 2015, added: "He was just giving me tips here and there and then he says 'I'm sure Taz will take you out to go shopping or something at some point and you'll find your own style'.

"I thought 'Oh very good' and I just left the awkward silence hanging when he asked me if I wanted him to arrange it with Taz.

"I'm like, I'm never going to be told how to dress, especially by a man."

The full interview will be published on Monday in Holyrood magazine.
