Ed Miliband has revealed he agreed to be interviewed by Russell Brand to make the election campaign “more interesting” following criticism it was boring.
The Labour leader defended his decision to speak to the comedian after criticism from David Cameron who branded Russell Brand as a "a joke".
Mr Miliband said he thought the interview would be a way to reach to millions of people not engaged in the campaign.
Speaking during a campaign visit to Cardiff, Mr Miliband said: "I decided that some people were saying the campaign was too boring so I thought it would make it more interesting."
The Labour politician was seen visiting Mr Brand’s London home last night to do an interview for his YuTube channel Trews.
Mr Brand has openly encouraged people to not vote.
