BB9's Mikey to stand as MP
Mikey Hughes said that he hopes to become the "next David Blunkett" as he announced plans to stand as an MP.

The Big Brother 9 runner-up will reportedly stand as an independent candidate in the Glasgow North East by-election, which was called following the resignation of Commons Speaker Michael Martin.

Hughes, 33, will be in the constituency today to launch his campaign, reports PA.

The radio presenter has been blind for the last ten years and said that he believes there should be more people with disabilities in Parliament.
