“I tend to go for Marks & Spencer and Gap, and I do get put in the changing room at Gap and clothes are passed to me under the changing room door - a bit like feeding time at the zoo!”
Asked how his friends viewed him, Mr Cameron said: “I hope they’d say I’m optimistic, I enjoy life and that I’m fun.
“But also that I’m quite driven in doing what I believe in. I really profoundly believe in this job and what I’m doing but I try to keep a balance because although this job is a complete passion, at the same time it’s my judgment that matters so I’ve got to keep good balance and pace to make sure I don’t get frazzled and fried.

“That, to me, was a perfect Sunday morning.”
The Tory leader - who has been mocked for his fondness for “chillaxing” - said his perfect evening would be preparing dinner and watching television.
“It involves cooking - and eating - then watching a good detective drama on TV, or House Of Cards,” he said. “Ideally we’d be at our house in Oxfordshire, which feels more and more like home.
“I love cooking; my signature dish is something slow-cooked - like belly of pork or shoulder of lamb.”
