Tory Instagram sensation Jacob Rees Mogg confirms he’s NEVER changed a nappy for any of his six kids – and instead he gets his nanny to do it
Despite the birth of baby Sixtus earlier this month, the Brexiteer said that he's never touched one
TORY MP Jacob Rees-Mogg may be a father of six, but he has never changed one nappy, he has revealed.
Despite the birth of baby Sixtus earlier this month adding yet another offspring to his clan, the Brexiteer said that he's never touched one, because "the nanny does it brilliantly."
Speaking to Nigel Farage on LBC last night, he said he's been put off the practise, insisting that he wouldn't get it right.
"I don’t think nanny would approve because I’m sure she’d think I wouldn’t do it properly,” the North Somerset MP said.
"This is the nanny that has worked for my family – in September, 52 years – so she knows a thing or two about doing it properly.
"I’ve made no pretence to be a modern man at all, ever. I’m probably as modern as you."
Staunchly traditional, Jacob once admitted: “I’m not hugely domesticated. I’m going to make no pretence that I am busy scrubbing floors in the Rees-Mogg household.
“I don’t cook or wash up. I do know how to change a light bulb but I have never built an Ikea flat-pack.”
The Eaton-educated Tory is very close to his nanny Veronica, who he took with him on the campaign trail.
Last year, he auctioned Veronica off, along with himself and the promise of afternoon tea, to raise £5,000 for the Brexit campaign.

New internet sensation and dad-of-six Jacob Rees-Mogg told The Sun yesterday he was planning to stay at home to spend time with his children - and wouldn't be jetting off on holiday this summer.
“With six children we will not be risking airport queues so will be staying at home,” he said.
The backbencher has risen to internet fame in recent weeks after posting a string of witting pictures online.
His jokes have gathered him thousands of followers, and many are arguing it should be him to run for the Tory leadership, when the time comes.
But he has played down the claims, saying the job is not for him.
The unlikely social media star says he “can’t help but be flattered” – but called it unwise to have “ambitions above one’s station”.
He told The Sun of his new found success: "I don’t set out to be eccentric. Politics is extremely serious but I think people should also enjoy it."
