Sir Keir Starmer refused to reveal how many women he had slept with - not following Nick Clegg into revealing his sexual encounters.

The Labour leader batted away a question about any past conquests as he was quizzed on the Never Mind The Ballots show.

Ex-Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg revealed in 2012 in an interview with Piers Morgan for GQ magazine that he had slept with "no more than" thirty women.

But the steadfast Labour chief said:  "I'm not going to answer that one".

The party leader also refused to follow in the footsteps of Theresa May in revealing the naughtiest thing he had done. 

The ex-PM once revealed that she had run through a field of wheat as a child.

He added that no politician ever gives "an honest answer when asked".

In a quick-fire round for the new political show - that you can watch on our website and The Sun's YouTube channel - he revealed his favourite crisps were salt and vinegar.

His favourite tipple at the end of a long day is a Pale Ale and he also told how he doesn't have any tattoos.

The vegetarian told how he shares his curries with his family - but he will opt for a chana masala.

He was slightly out on the price of a cost of milk saying it cost about £1.10 - but it's closer to 90p.

Sir Keir also told how he wasn't religious so not following in the footsteps of former Labour leader Tony Blair.

He said:  "No, I'm not.  I'm a great believer in faith.  But I'm not personally religious."
