David Cameron has been caught on microphone joking about Alex Salmond 'stealing wallets'.

The Prime Minister, who was a guest on ITV1's This Morning programme, made the joke under his breath as host Phillip Schofield introduced the next item.

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

Mr Cameron could just be heard to say, off-camera: "Is that Alex Salmond?"

Laughter was heard in the studio after the joke.
