Last week we saw a little insight into Jeremy Corbyn's home life as he appeared on a celebrity edition of Gogglebox for Stand Up to Cancer.

While watching an episode of Nigella, he very knowledgeably told pal Jessica Hynes how to make tasty coddled eggs.

But it was his sheer inability to open a bag of sweets that had everyone talking.

Jeremy declared he felt the need to eat something unhealthy and produced a bag of Celebrations.

He then looked bemused as he battled with the opening and suggested getting a knife while he resorted to using his teeth.

Viewers were baffled and started tweeting about how inept he was.

One said: "The man can’t open a zip lock bag of celebrations why would we let him run the country?"

Another called him 'hamfisted' while a third blasted "Manage the country, he can barely open the Celebrations...."

We're sure it's been keeping you up at night so we're here to provide an explanation - and to vindicate the Labour Party leader - because we've just had the exact same issue.

As it's a Sunday, one colleague at Mirror Towers decided to bring a huge bag of Celebrations back from their lunchtime visit to the shops.

I was instructed to open them and tried to rip off the top of the packaging. But I couldn't, the plastic just wouldn't budge.

Look a little closer and you'll see little scissor logos and dotted lines instructing you to cut open the bag.

Like Jeremy, we have no scissors. It took two people to manage the task.

We struggled for a good few minutes - refusing to resort to teeth like Corbs - before eventually the bag popped open at the side.

Not how it's supposed to happen, but we'll take it.

So to all the people who laughed at Jezza, we challenge you to get into one of these bags.

Jeremy, we're sorry we ever doubted you.
