Liberal Democrat leadership contender Simon Hughes has explained why he has admitted having gay relationships.
The 54-year-old MP said in Thursday’s Sun that in the past he had had relationships with both women and men.
He said he had considered pulling out of the leadership contest but did not think the issue should disqualify him from playing a part in public life.
He apologised if he had misled people when he recently denied being gay - saying he had not intended to do so.
Mr Hughes told BBC Radio Five Live the situation had become “unmanageable” this week as newspapers put more allegations, most of them untrue, to his campaign team.
He wanted to be judged on his plans for the future of his party.
His leadership rivals, Sir Menzies Campbell and Treasury spokesman Chris Huhne, both said his private life should not affect the leadership race.
