A sensational love affair that "stunned" David Cameron when he was told about it has set Westminster abuzz.

And that was about all the Mail on Sunday told us, claiming it was legally barred from revealing the participants.

One insider claimed it would be as shocking as former Prime Minister John Major's fling with Tory MP Edwina Currie.

But how will this one stack up against the most sensational political sex scandals of all time?

We may never know..
