Ed Miliband gets in on the selfie fun with… Joey Essex

Ed Miliband has attempted to steal the headlines away from David Cameron with a selfie of his own – with Joey Essex.

The odd couple took the picture together at  The Sun Military Awards last night.
The former TOWIE star uploaded the image to Twitter on Wednesday evening with the caption: ‘With my mate @Ed_Miliband.’

Joey is back on home soil after coming fourth in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, returning from the Australian jungle just hours before the awards ceremony.
His smart snap with the Labour leader comes two days after the prime minister’s controversial picture at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service.
Mr Cameron, Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and US president Barack Obama were criticised for leaning in for a selfie during the ceremony.
The Sun Military Awards honours serving and ex-personnel and is supported by Prince Charles.
