Don't turn the other cheek

I suppose that this is what happens when an MP with a lust for publicity meets a fading D-list celebrity. The Guardian reports:
Yesterday the Liberal Democrats cemented their reputation as a party struggling to be taken seriously after Lembit Opik announced that he had split with his television weather forecaster fiancee and was dating one half of the kitsch pop duo the Cheeky Girls.
Mr Opik, who speaks for the Liberal Democrats on Northern Ireland and Wales, said his six-year relationship with Sian Lloyd had come to a an end and he was now courting the Romanian singer Gabriela Irimia, whose ditty The Cheeky Song (Touch my Bum) has been voted the worst record of all time.

Lembit Opik, the LibDems' answer to Britney Spears.

Touch my bum and I'll smack you in the mouth...
