For the second time in a row, the MPs were crowned winners of the annual Rehab Parliamentary Pancake Race.

The MPs battled it out against representatives from the House of Lords and a team of political journalists - including ITV News Political Correspondent Libby Wiener - for the title.

After crossing the finishing line in first place, Conservative MP Tim Loughton said, “Clearly the best team won and we are delighted to be victorious for the second year in a row. It was a tough contest, and while the wind direction made it hard to get a good toss on the pancake, once we got in our stride, there was just no stopping us".
