Michael Gove and Boris Johnson have challenged David Cameron to a face-to-face debate ahead of the EU referendum.

Mr Cameron will take questions from an audience live on ITV at 9pm tonight, with Nigel Farage representing the "Leave" side.

Mr Gove and Mr Johnson challenged the prime minister to debate a member of Vote Leave, which Mr Farage is not part of.

In a joint statement, they said: "We think that the public deserve the chance to hear these issues debated face-to-face between the prime minister and a spokesman for Vote Leave so they can judge for themselves which is the safer choice on June 23.

"The prime minister was absolutely right to hold this vote and allow ministers the chance to disagree with him. We hope that in the same spirit he will accept this invitation."
