Nigel Farage was forced to dodge a flying egg on Monday as his wife revealed the couple have been living "separate lives for some years".

The former Ukip leader had been forced to deny claims he is having an affair with a French politician 15 years his junior.

Later in the day, the MEP was pelted by a youth as he arrived at a public meeting in Stoke-On-Trent with Ukip leader Paul Nuttall.
