Ukip deputy leader denies being Bungle on Rainbow

Today in news that actually happened, Ukip deputy leader Paul Nuttall has denied being the actor who played Bungle the bear on kids TV show Rainbow.

The MEP for the North West's Wikipedia page was edited to say he was the "original Bungle" - something Mr Nuttall told the Daily Mirror was "probably the funniest thing" he'd ever read about himself online.

Unfortunately, the MEP wasn't even born when Rainbow started, in 1972.
