Gordon Brown ‘eating nine bananas a day’

Gordon Brown is reportedly eating up to nine bananas a day as part of a pre-election health drive.

The Prime Minister’s wife Sarah is said to be behind the diet designed to wean him off chocolate, reports The Sun. Mrs Brown apparently told her husband to reduce his chocolate intake in an effort to get him in shape before the general election.

The newspaper claimed that Mr Brown’s three-KitKat-a-day habit had been significantly reduced.

It quoted a Downing Street source as saying: “Like with everything, Gordon is an obsessive. Bananas are his big thing now - he can’t get enough of them.

“He knows he’s up against two fitter and younger men in David Cameron and Nick Clegg during the Election campaign, so he’s keen to look a bit leaner. He has taken up jogging and goes to the gym.”
