A Tory council candidate was left red-faced when a doorbell camera caught the moment he mistook a 24-year-old homeowner for a CHILD - even asking if his 'mum and dad are home'. Hilarious footage shows Sam Gascoyne, the Conservative candidate for Pitsea North-West ward in Basildon, Essex, exclaim 'your house?' after homeowner Steven Wood informs him he lives there.
Steven admits that he's often mistaken for someone much younger due to his baby face and height of 5ft 3in so he wasn't surprised when a caller assumed he was underage and asked if his mum and dad were at home. The assembly operator moved in with partner, Bethany, 21, six months ago and was redecorating on Saturday when he had a knock at the door.
Ring doorbell footage caught the moment Sam looms over him and asks 'are mum or dad in?' while playfully motioning with his hands as if talking to a child. When Steven responds 'I live here, it's my house', Sam gives an embarrassed giggle as he realises his embarrassing error.
