Theresa May's alliance with the DUP faces it's first rift just hours after being formed, after it emerged a senior DUP politician raged against pop star Rihanna running through his wheat field.

We know Theresa May is a fan of similar antics.

So she might come into conflict with DUP Alderman and farmer Alan Grahamm who was furious when pop star Rihanna filmed a raunchy music video amid his prized crops.

The barley-hoo emerges just days after Mrs May admitted a similar misdemeanor had been the naughtiest thing she'd ever done.

She told Julie Etchingham: "Well, nobody is ever perfectly behaved, are they? I mean, you know, there are times when… I have to confess, when me and my friend, sort of, used to run through the fields of wheat, the farmers weren’t too pleased about that."

In an unexpected turn of events, it emerged this afternoon that DUP Alderman and farmer Alan Graham had been furious to discover the R&B songstress had ambled through his prized crop to film a music video.

He also helped fill in a hole with some of his straw.

But the farmer – a devout Christian – pulled the plug when Rihanna started stripping. The dad-of-four added: “I’ve had my conversation with Rihanna and hopefully she understands where I am coming from.

“She was most gracious, we shook hands and we parted on good enough terms.

“I come from a Christian ethos and I know that this type of activity for some people is day-to-day work.

“But there does come a time when things become inappropriate when it happens on my land.”

Rihanna was yesterday mobbed by crowds as she continued filming on a new housing estate in Belfast.

This time it went without a hitch – in fact, she had a field day...
