Surfer Cameron gets wires crossed

- By Frances Millar

DAVID Cameron set out to catch some waves while on holiday in Cornwall – but instead caught an old tangle of wire.

The former prime minister was spotted on Polzeath Beach near Padstow where despite the grey skies the 50-year-old donned his wet suit and braved the surf as his wife Samantha looked on.

Alas, after the ex-Tory leader’s visit to the award-winning beauty spot lifeguards had to close the beach – when sewage was found in the sea.

The picturesqu­e seaside resort is a favourite with the Camerons who visited the same location for their summer break last year and in 2013.

The latest off-duty snap of the Eton-educated politician comes after he was photograph­ed at the weekend at the Wilderness Festival in Cornbury Park, Oxfordshir­e, near his country home.

One image taken at the upmarket live music event in the Cotwolds showed him with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other being embraced by a pink-haired reveller.

Mr Cameron was unaware that Lucy Edwards, 29, who posed with him in the picture, was wearing a jacket with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s name in a pink love heart emblazoned on the back.

In another photo that went viral, Mr Cameron and his wife accidental­ly photobombe­d Labour party activist Vanessa Price, 47, appearing behind her as she posed for a selfie with her husband Steve.
