Mr Mone, who is thought to be in a relationship with Ms Bunn, divorced from his wife in January after allegations of an affair between the 46-year-old and Ms Bunn, 32.

The Ultimo chief, 42, who bought out her ex-husband’s share of the firm after their split, also fired Ms Bunn over the affair.

Mr Mone confirmed the existence of a websitefor his new venture, pendulum-apparel.com, which will sell “lingerie and swimwear” from a registered office in Drumbreck, Glasgow.
