Mr Cameron said he “absolutely agreed” with Leicester East MP Keith Vaz, who said the former England striker should fulfil his pledge to present the football highlights show in his underwear.

Mr Vaz, who was sporting a Leicester scarf in the Commons for the second day running asked Mr Cameron at Prime Minster’s Questions: “As an Aston Villa supporter, and my commiserations to you on their season, do you agree that in politics as well in football, when you make a promise, you should keep it?”

Mr Cameron replied: “I absolutely agree. He’s not quite answering the question, something that of course no-one ever gets away with in this House.” Earlier, Mr Cameron was mocked over his football credentials by Jeremy Corbyn after he congratulated the Premier League champions on their fairytale title win. The Labour leader seized on Mr Cameron’s confusion during last year’s general election over which team he supports, when he mixed up Aston Villa and West Ham, who wear similar claret and blue colours.
