A monkey has brazenly slapped a Peruvian model after the primate tried to pull down her strapless top.
Paula Manzanal, who has a son with her ex-boyfriend British ‘Ex on the Beach’ star Jordan Davies, was left shocked at the monkey's antics.
The moment at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Bali, Indonesia was captured on video.
The 28-year-old posted the clip on social media where it has gone viral with 300,000 views and 135 comments.
The Peruvian model, who boasts 2.2 million Instagram fans and 2.1 million TikTok followers, said: “I only wanted it to not touch my...”
In the clip, Paula is seen standing over the monkey, reportedly a crab-eating macaque - also known as the long-tailed macaque, as it sits on a fence in the sanctuary.
The cheeky monkey appears to be stroking the model’s bust before trying to pull down her strapless top for a closer look.
When Paula goes to lift up her slipping black top, the monkey wipes her nose, forcing her to turn away, fortunately, unhurt, and with a smile on her face.
One follower commented: “He definitely knew what he was doing.”
“Hahaha, I didn't want to laugh but it did make me laugh. The good thing is that it didn't bite you, greetings from Iquitos,” said someone else.
There are about 600 macaques living in the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and it is not uncommon for them to interact with visitors and occasionally steal their food and belongings.
The Peruvian model has a four-year-old son and currently lives in Barcelona.
Paula split up with the boy’s father Jordan Davies before he was born in 2018.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “I asked God to send me a man who’ll always love me. He gave me a son.”
