It's for charity, I swear

Burly Labour MP Stephen Pound has made a bit of a name for himself by dressing up as a Cheeky Girl in hotpants and a tight vest and performing alongside the actual Cheeky Girls for a cancer research charity gig at the weekend:

 

'The newly-formed trio performed the Cheeky Girls' hit Touch My Bum and the Right Said Fred number I'm Too Sexy before an audience of MPs at the Intercontinental Hotel in central London. But Mr Pound - who dressed up as Queen guitarist Brian May at last year's event - said he was "so overcome with terminal embarrassment" he could barely look at the crowd. "I think they viewed it with a mixture of disgust and pity," joked the MP'
