Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn will face questions from voters in a special TV broadcast less than a week before the election.

The BBC announced the pair would appear on a Question Time special on June 2.

Just days earlier, Radio 4 Today programme presenter Mishal Husain will moderate a seven-way debate live on BBC One.

The clash, which will be held in Cambridge on May 31, is to feature senior figures from the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, SNP, Plaid Cymru, Green Party and Ukip.

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron will also appear alongside Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in a second Question Time special on June 4, the BBC said.

It comes as it was revealed that Theresa May and her husband Philip are set for their first broadcast appearance together when they are guests on The One Show on Tuesday.

Mrs May previously ruled out taking part in head-to-head TV debates during the campaign, prompting Labour to say Jeremy Corbyn would not appear without the Prime Minister.

The Question Time appearance of the pair will likely see them grilled by audience members rather than in a traditional debate setting.
