Neil and Christine Hamilton in publicity-seeking shock

The former MP and his wife release a picture re-creating the famous pottery scene from Ghost.

The slightly dotty duo have seized upon the Valentine's fervour gripping the nation and released the above picture to, er, celebrate Valentine's Day – and put a nation off its lunch. The disgraced former MP Neil Hamilton plays Patrick Swayze, while Christine Hamilton is Demi Moore.

Apparently it's all for charity. Perhaps if they raise enough, they'll never do it again. Give generously!

Paper plates for me from now on!
Am I able to sue with regard of the mental effect I am now suffering whenever I see a pottery item?

i don't know about this, though the hamilton's once seemed like the worst of tory villians some how the most recent crop seem so much worse.

if only the people of tatton had kept neil hamilton as their mp, we might not be heading for the mess we are heading for now.

They need therapy those two idiots.

Wasn't Neil an effective taxation expert? Despite family funding this is something Mrs Thatcher notably failed to achieve.It must have been all that housework!

Scrapping kiddies' milk and selling donors' blood to other countries was a piece of cake in comparison.
Of course, the pawnbroker was resurrected during Mrs T's premiership.
AIDs, Mad Cow Disease, and marriage break-ups were just bad luck.
In the eighties, unemployment did became endemic but life isn't fair, is it?

@Brixtonfleet beat me to it. This is disgusting and should come with a warning! What is it with these people and their publicity seeking?

It was for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign's film fundraising initiative, "At the Movies". www.muscular-dystrophy.org/movies

Delightfully bleak.

It could have been worse - Tony and Cherie spring to mind as another nauseating little pair.

Good luck to them. They have a fabulous sense of humour, aren't afraid to put themselves up to be shot at, and are absolutely game. Not sure I'd want them for neighbours tho...

Thank you Dominique. I've added a link to the charity's page and to the Hamiltons's Just Giving page too.
