He added: 'We have a great branch, a great number of councillors and a fantastic candidate in Catherine who is straight talking and tells it like it is.'

Mr Nuttall then walked over to Great Yarmouth Market Place where he spoke to members of the public and stall holders and ate some chips.

Great Yarmouth was described as a 'jewel in the Ukip crown' by a senior party official earlier in the year.
