Lindsay Hoyle, Labour MP for Chorley, raced past Sky News's Niall Patterson in seconds flat today to help his team of MPs beat Tory MPs, peers and the media in today's annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race.

The race, which took place opposite the Houses of Parliament this morning, was held in aid of Rehab UK, the brain injury charity.

Mr Hoyle, Labour's team captain, lent his support to a campaign for pancake racing to become an Olympic event - "and we might just be the right team for 2012," he told the Press Association.
