Micaela Harris was left embarrassed, and her nieces upset, when she pulled off some ‘magnificent’ wrapping paper to reveal the rude looking creation at her engagement party in New Zealand.

‘I think it [the disagreement] was taken too far.

‘As a business owner you come across customers you don’t like but you have got to take the highs and the lows, got to suck it up.’

‘Seems to be popping up everywhere… business opportunities have been thrown my way as well
