Gordon McBroon 'eating nine bananas a day' as he tries to shape up for the Election

Gordon Brown is eating up to nine bananas a day as part of a health drive ordered by his wife Sarah.

The Prime Minister has turned to the fruit as a substitute for KitKat bars to give him the energy to survive long days at No 10.

Mrs Brown apparently told her husband to reduce his chocolate intake in an effort to get him in shape before the general election, which is expected in May.



Mr Brown's three-KitKat-a-day habit had been significantly reduced, with the Prime Minister now only treating himself when under extreme pressure.

A Downing Street source said: "Like with everything, Gordon is an obsessive. Bananas are his big thing now – he can't get enough of them."

"The PM has always liked to chew on something during endless meetings. So the suggestion was made to him that bananas might be a more healthy option that the KitKats and fizzy drinks he loves."
