New photo May and Corbyn TV clash on Brexit deal is set for Sunday December 9

The high-stakes Brexit deal TV showdown between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn has been pencilled in for Sunday, December 9.

The Tories and Labour have agreed the date of the primetime clash - but are still wrangling over the format and whether it should be on the BBC or ITV.

Mr Corbyn's team favours a slot on ITV at 7pm before the final of hit show I'm a Celebrity - taking the place of an episode of the Chase. 

He joked in an interview with Philip Schofield and Rochelle Humes on This Morning that he wanted to be finished so he can watch the climax of the jungle competition himself.

Downing Street had suggested holding the face-off earlier in the week, but has now moved to 'accommodate' the Opposition.

However, they are thought to want the programme to go ahead on the BBC at around 8pm, after the Strictly Come Dancing results and in place of the last installment of David Attenborough's Dynasties. 

There could also be a Brexit 'panel' involved in quizzing the leaders rather than a straight head-to-head.

Mrs May laid down the gauntlet to Mr Corbyn for a debate this week as she battles to get her controversial EU package through the Commons.

The two sides appear to be moving closer to agreeing that the TV clash can go ahead, although there are fears it could yet be derailed.  

Mrs May again made clear last night that Nicola Sturgeon should not be allowed to join the face-off. 

She said she would prove: 'I have got a plan, he hasn't got a plan'.

Mr Corbyn came out strongly in favour of ITV as he appeared on the This Morning sofa, telling presenters Philip and Rochelle that viewers want to tune into the jungle.

Jeremy Corbyn says he feels sorry for Theresa May because 'leadership is a lonely place' 

The Labour leader says he has 'sympathy' for Theresa May (pictured today being grilled by MPs in parliament)

Jeremy Corbyn today admitted he has sympathy for Theresa May, because 'leadership is a lonely place'.

The Labour leader said people who work very hard 'should be respected for that' as he discussed the Brexit deal on ITV's This Morning.

Asked by presenter Rochelle Humes whether he feels 'sympathy' for the PM, Mr Corbyn replied: 'Yes, at a human level, because leadership is a lonely place, and that can be difficult.

'I think that people working very hard and doing their best should be respected for that.

'I personally never indulge of abuse of an individual, I don't do that, it's not my style of politics.'

Questioned whether, given that, he would like to be PM himself, Mr Corbyn said: 'Of course I would, otherwise I wouldn't be here today.' 

Revealing his love of the show, he added: 'I want to watch it myself as well.'

But his remarks raised some eyebrows as in 2016 he could not identify who I'm a Celeb presenters Ant and Dec were when shown a photo of the Geordie presenters.

Mr Corbyn did not divulge what he thinks of the Bushtucker trials or who he is backing to be crowned king or queen of the jungle.

He also used the appearance to slam the PM's Brexit deal saying it would leave the UK tied to EU rules without having a say in formulating them. 

Labour would have been 'less aggressive' in the crunch negotiations than Mrs May's team were.

Mr Corbyn said: 'We wouldn't start being so aggressive towards the EU. We wouldn't start by saying we want to do trade deals with other countries like the United States.'

He added: 'I think the Prime Minister's deal is not satisfactory.....it does not do what she claims it does which is allow the UK to strike its own trade deals.'

As he panned the PM's deal, he was challenged by Schofield about what Labour's actual position is on a second referendum.

John McDonnell yesterday suggested Labour was moving towards backing one - but Mr Corbyn's team have repeatedly said 'all options' are on the table. 

Ms Sturgeon and a slew of other leaders of smaller parties have said they want to be involved - with the prospect of legal challenges if broadcasters freeze them out.

Boris Johnson has also waded into the row, saying a genuine Brexiteer must be included.

The former foreign secretary tweeted that if a head-to-head happens it will offer the public a 'false choice' between two visions 'neither of which are Brexit'.

'There is no point having a debate with two people who voted Remain & deals that don’t take back control,' he said.

'Any debate must involve someone who believes in Brexit & the British people being fully in control of their laws, rather than giving back control to the EU like the PM's deal.' 

A No 10 spokesman said the debate was ‘on’ as far as Downing Street was concerned but there were a ‘range of dates’ being considered.

He said: ‘It will be between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Those two parties represent nine out of 10 of the number of MPs the House.’

Asked if Nicola Sturgeon should take part, the spokesman said: ‘The meaningful vote is for MPs and the last time I checked, Nicola Sturgeon did not fit that description.’ 

Downing Street has again made clear that Nicola Sturgeon (pictured in Edinburgh yesterday) should not be allowed to join the face-off

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
