Peep Show star Robert Webb has quit the Labour party saying his heart is “not in it” and he feels “sick” at the thought of supporting Jeremy Corbyn’s top spin doctor.

Webb, who plays hapless loser Jeremy in the show, initially revealed his decision during an exchange on Twitter with former Labour official Hopi Sen. He said: "It’s a personal choice and I admire those sticking around. I’ve just had it."

He later clarified his reasons in a series of tweets.
