David Cameron has been caught joking about Alex Salmond pinching people's wallets in remarks broadcast after a TV interview ended.

The Prime Minister, who had just done a viewer call-in on ITV's This Morning, made the comment as host Phillip Schofield moved on to the next item.

Mr Schofield said: "Up next, a man who can pinch your wallet, your watch and even your tie without you noticing."

Mr Cameron, who was off camera, could then be heard saying: "Is that Alex Salmond?"

Co-host Amanda Holden burst out laughing at the remark as the programme went to ads.
