Tory leader David Cameron joked that it was the "first of the campaign" after he was hit by an egg today during a visit to a college in Cornwall.

Mr Cameron was struck on the shoulder as he emerged from answering students' questions at Cornwall College Saltash.

Eyewitness said the young man who threw the egg was immediately led away.

Mr Cameron, who was yesterday confronted by the Daily Mirror's giant chicken, joked afterwards: "Now I know which came first - the chicken not the egg."

Much like the Prescott incident, Cameron immediately retaliated at the egg thrower, instructing his butler to strike the oaf.
