Both Ed and his wife spoke about how they met after Justine Thornton revealed him to be something of a Lothario who juggled women, earlier this month.

Mr Miliband became leader of the Labour party by beating his brother David in the leadership race, a wound which he says is still "healing".

Recently Ed was accused of "stabbing his brother in the back' by Conservative Michael Fallon.

The Labour leader also spoke about moving away from the shadow of New Labour and Tony Blair.
