CONGRATULATIONS to Peter Luff, winner of the London to Brighton Wacky Race.

The MP did not actually have to complete the 60 mile journey to the seaside by road, however. He did it from the relative comfort of the treadmill at the Westminster gym.

The "race" was devised by the gym's fitness instructors to make the hours spent exercising more interesting, and it paid off for Peter - who completed the distance in less than one month.

His prize? A month's free membership to the gym.
