Nick Clegg's 30 lovers

Or at least "no more than 30...it's a lot less than that" in answer to the question, in relation to the number of women he slept with before he got married: How many are we talking: 10, 20, 30?"

I thought it was an April Fool prank. Amanda Platell writes:

Oh to have been a fly on the wall at Nick Clegg's family home in South London yesterday morning!

You can just picture the scene as the LibDem leader's inquisitive young sons spotted their father's picture in the papers and asked: "It says here that you slept with 30 women, Daddy. Were you very, very tired? Was it an awfully big bed?"

I'm pretty sure that the response from his lovely and loyal Spanish wife Miriam would have been rather less amusing.

Frankly, who would blame her if, after reading yesterday's headlines, she had made her husband wear his porridge rather than eat it?

For this was the morning after the night before the publication of an interview in GQ magazine in which Mr Clegg had confessed that he'd had "no more than 30" sexual partners.

No more than 30! And the 41-year-old doesn't even blush?

What does "no more than 30" actually mean, anyway? Did he actually sleep with far fewer than 30 but wanted to appear virile?

Kira Cochraine compares the incident to William Hague bragging about how much beer he drank as a youth.
