Ed Miliband stunned diners when he dropped in for a late night pie-and-chips at a Doncaster takeaway.

The former Labour leader enjoyed a slab of chicken and ham pie at the Yorkshire Pie House - and evidence of his tasty, late night escapade was caught on CCTV.

Along with his pie, he enjoyed side orders of chips and mushy peas.

The eatery posted news of their famous visitor's comfort food adventure on their Facebook page.

They wrote: "Who's out giving it large on a Friday night in the pie house? Ed Milliband that's who. Seems he's a chicken and ham with chips and mushy peas type of guy! Fair play, my favourite too."

They later added: "Strong work fella!"

Mr Miliband is enjoying something of a social media renaissance of late.

He's been snapped in a string of selfies and videos with impressed young people, giving cool-as-a-cucumber quotes to an adoring online public .

And last month he was filmed giving a homeless man £10 to help him find a place to stay.
