Who’s hogging the limelight? WATCH the election pigs do battle for No. 10

Michael Crick is in Devon at the Ham Stakes race at Pennywell Farm Devon. He and producer Tim Bouverie have been watching David Hameron, Ed Swiliband, Nigel Forage and Pork Clegg racing this morning.

The farm, which holds regular pig racing events, decided to stage the run as the election starts to heat up.

The four miniature pigs, dressed in their respective parties’ colours, lined up on this sunny Devon morning. While Ed Swiliband started well, he paused at the first gate allowing Nigel Forage to quickly overtake him.

Pork Clegg was quick to shed his yellow Liberal Democrat colours and David Hameron also lost his shirt. Unencumbered, both gave chase on Nigel Forage. Meanwhile Ed Swiliband became rather distracted by an interesting patch of grass.

Tune in tonight at 7pm on Channel 4 to find out who came out on top.
