PM: My Wife Chooses My Clothes For Me

David Cameron has admitted that while he can run the country, he cannot apparently choose his own clothes.

Instead his wife, Samantha, passes her picks to him under the changing-room door "like feeding time at the zoo".

In an interview with Woman and Home, the Prime Minister said he tended to prefer plain clothes - he is often pictured on holidays in a blue poloshirt - and was an M&S and Gap man.

Mr Cameron said: "I'm very lucky because Samantha is amazing, she truly is the empress of multitasking, and amazing at doing it all, from overseeing the children's homework, having a business life of her own, doing a lot of charity work, and supporting me as Prime Minister.

"Samantha has extremely good taste. And I'm not really interested in clothes, mainly I like wearing clothes that don't make me stand out.

"I tend to go for Marks & Spencer and Gap, and I do get put in the changing room at Gap and clothes are passed to me under the changing room door - a bit like feeding time at the zoo!"

He has also given an insight into what keeps him "chillaxed" - barbecues, bike rides and box sets apparently.

Mr Cameron said he preferred to spend his down time in his Oxfordshire constituency home, rather than at Downing Street or Chequers.

He said his perfect evening would involve preparing dinner - his signature dishes, he says, are "something slow-cooked like belly of pork or shoulder of lamb" - and watching television - a detective drama or House of Cards.

He said: "I really profoundly believe in this job and what I'm doing but I try to keep a balance because although this job is a complete passion, at the same time it's my judgement that matters so I've got to keep good balance and pace to make sure I don't get frazzled and fried.

"So I do take breaks: last weekend I did an eight-mile bicycle ride along the Windrush Valley in beautiful cold sunshine with Samantha and two of our children.

"That, to me, was a perfect Sunday morning."

Mr Cameron says his children have dealt "sensibly" with having a father who is Prime Minister.
