Little Stephen Morrison gave Cherie Blair a surprise when she visited the Sure Start project in Hastings.

The three year old landed a lump of red modelling clay right on the nose of the eminent QC who also happens to be married to the Prime Minister.

Luckily, Mrs Blair took the incident in good part and helped Stephen form the clay into a snail.

It was all good practice in case she wants to take part in the next Comic Relief Red Nose Day.
