Hugh Dennis, from popular sitcom Outnumbered, spoke to students about the upcoming General Election and why he votes.

Dennis visited Blenheim High School in Epsom last month as part of a speakers’ tour which aims to engage young people in politics.

James Preece, head of sixth form, said: "We are delighted to have welcomed Hugh Dennis and the Speakers for Schools’ campaign.

"It has been a huge success and has left our students informed about the impending General Election and also why voting and participating in the democratic process is so important."
