Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn and Tim Farron, the leaders of the three main parties, were photobombed by rival candidates during their victory speeches.

A joke candidate, Mr Fish Finger, mocked Lib Dem leader Tim Farron throughout the campaign, and brought down the gravity of the occasion as he made faces behind Mr Farron during his victory speech.

He seemed pleased that he got just over 400 votes, tweeting: "Absolutely shattered walking back to hotel for a few hours in the freezer then off to London in the afternoon thanks everyone".
