Rolf Harris campaigning in Bristol?
No, not the latest celebrity endorsement - but a case of mistaken identity!
Standing outside Parliament on the last day the Commons is sitting before the election, Bristol North West's Doug Naysmith recounts a lovely tale from the campaign trail.
The bearded Labour MP reveals he's sometimes been mistaken for the Aussie entertainer Rolf Harris.
Not generally by voters, but by their children who answer the door when he's out canvassing.
It's come to light because their physical similarities have been officiallly recognised.
Both have been named in a campaign group's list of the most notable beard-wearers in public life.
A nice final flourish for the 69-year-old MP as he stands down.
