Ed Miliband wowed women attending a hen do at the weekend.
The bride to be was so enamoured with the Labour leader and would be Prime Minister that she has even wondered if he will make an impromptu appearance at her wedding.
Over to you, Ed..
To hens of another sort now.
And a 'behavioural experts' at the happy egg company put a flock of its hens' superior vision to the test to see which of Britain's political party leaders they responded to best, in what they dubbed the first ever General Egg-lection.
The flock of 250 happy hens 'pecked' Ed Miliband as the winner, with Nicola Sturgeon placing third.
Alex Salmond announced on the radio that thousands of people south of the border had applied to join the SNP in the wake of Nicola Sturgeon's appearances in the televised leaders debates.
Thankfully for them people south of the border can join the SNP.
The party says it has a thriving London chapter.
However, members in English constituencies cannot vote for the SNP.
Well, not yet they can't...
Conservative Jesse Norman, who is defending the seat of Hereford and South Herefordshire , has dismissed as "nonsense" claims that he attempted to sway potential voters with cake.
Not just any cake, however.
Police are reportedly investigating after he was shown sat at a table in an Asda store with a box of chocolate muffins, what appeared to be a tray of cherry Bakewells.
Ukip candidate Kim Rose, standing in Southampton Itchen, was told he would face no further action over allegations he laid on sausage rolls and Jaffa Cakes at an event in February.
Known as "treating", the practice is barred under election rules as it could be seen as inducing voters to cast their ballots one way or another.
